Total Spending Breakdown
- Total Spent to Date: Approximately $15 billion has been spent on the CHSR project over the last 16 years. As of mid-2025, over $13 billion to $14 billion of this total has been officially accounted for in active construction and planning.
- Federal Taxpayer Contribution: Roughly $6.9 billion in federal grants have been provided to the project over the past 15 years. This includes approximately $3.6 billion from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.
- State Taxpayer Contribution: The majority of funding is provided by the state of California. This includes $9 billion in state bonds approved by voters in 2008 (Proposition 1A).
Recent 2025 Developments
- Funding Rescission: In July 2025, the U.S. Department of Transportation terminated approximately $4 billion in unspent federal funding, citing mismanagement and failure to lay track.
- Ongoing State Commitments: In late 2025, California officials authorized an additional $20 billion to keep the project alive, with plans for at least $1 billion annually for the next 20 years from the state's cap-and-trade program.
- Northeast Corridor (NEC): While not exclusively high-speed rail, the federal government awarded $16.4 billion in 2023 for infrastructure projects on the Northeast Corridor to support future high-speed "next-generation" rail service.
Cost Projections for Taxpayers
The estimated total cost for the full Phase 1 system (San Francisco to Los Angeles) has ballooned from an initial $33 billion in 2008 to approximately $128 billion to $135 billion by late 2025. Current projections suggest a funding gap of nearly $100 billion remains to complete the full system.
