President Biden's Funding for Northeast Corridor Rail, New York-New Jersey Tunnel Construction, and California High-Speed Rail Funding

President Biden highlights $16.4 billion in funding for 25 passenger rail projects on Amtrak's Northeast Corridor, aiming to shorten travel times and improve reliability. Construction has begun on NYC's $16.1 billion Gateway Tunnel project, which aims to build a new rail tunnel linking New York and New Jersey. House Republicans seek to block California high-speed rail funds and cut funds for Amtrak and mass transit programs. The Los Angeles Metro Rail System faces challenges in its expansion, including parochial politics and concerns about safety.
