Rep. Jim Costa Statement on Trump's Plans to Investigate California High-Speed Rail Project

WASHINGTON - Congressman Jim Costa (CA-21) released the following statement in response to President Trump's comments on planning to investigate California's High-Speed Rail Project. 

"Big projects take time, but over 14,500 jobs have been created in the Central Valley, all while boosting local economies and laying the foundation for a world-class transportation system. Trump attacks our progress without understanding the roadblocks that have arisen through lawsuits trying to kill the project.

 We’re focused on creating jobs and moving California forward. This isn’t just about a rail line, it’s a 21st-century transportation system that Asia and Europe built decades ago. This is about good-paying jobs, cleaner air, and a future of better-connected communities.”
