A planned high speed rail line between the Los Angeles area and Las Vegas continues to move forward, recently clearing a key regulatory hurdle.
In July, the U.S. Federal Railroad Administration signed a Finding of No Significant Impact for
Brightline West's a 49-mile segment between the line’s southern terminus in Rancho Cucamonga and the Victor Valley. As a result of the finding, the project’s sponsor, Brightline West, can proceed without incurring the cost and time involved in preparing an environmental impact statement for that portion of the route.
