ReutersAug 1, 2025 3:08 PM
WASHINGTON, Aug 1 (Reuters) - The U.S. Transportation Department said Friday it is cancelling $26 million in grants for a long-delayed proposed high-speed rail project between Washington and Baltimore.
USDOT said it was rescinding funds for the proposed $20 billion Baltimore-Washington Superconducting Magnetic Levitation, or MAGLEV project, after "nearly a decade of poor planning, significant community opposition, tremendous cost overruns, and nothing to show for it."
An environmental review of the project has been on pause since 2021.
