On Wednesday, U.S. Secretary of Transportation Elaine Chao officially withdrew a $4 billion federal grant intended for the California High-Speed Rail Authority. Prior to this decision, the Federal Railroad Administration had been issuing warnings to the Authority for several weeks. In the letter announcing the termination, Acting Administrator Drew Felegy highlighted that the California High-Speed Rail Authority had "breached commitments outlined in the initial agreement," specifically by "failing to achieve" predetermined milestones. This action signifies the definitive cessation of federal government backing for the California High-Speed Rail Project.
