Target: U.S. Department of Transportation and the Federal Railroad Administration
Goal: Urge the federal government to restore the $4 billion in funding and ensure the completion of California's high-speed rail project.
California's high-speed rail is the nation's most ambitious rail project, designed to connect major cities, reduce carbon emissions, create good jobs, and provide affordable, sustainable transportation for millions. The recent decision to rescind $4 billion in federal funding jeopardizes not only the project's future but also the economic and environmental well-being of California and the nation.
We call on the federal government to reverse this decision and fully support California's high-speed rail. This project is vital to meeting our climate goals, reducing traffic congestion, and ensuring transportation equity. Abandoning it now would be a step backward for progress, sustainability, and economic opportunity.
