A bipartisan group of lawmakers from California and Nevada has requested funds from the Biden administration to help speed up the construction of a high-speed rail line between the two states on Monday.

All six of Nevada’s elected federal lawmakers and four House members from California sent the letter to U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg. They said they’re on board with a proposal from Brightline West to spend more than $10 billion to lay tracks along the Interstate 15 corridor.
