  U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said the grant is a waste of taxpayer money after capital costs ballooned, and that the private sector should pick it up.

Texas Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy has announced the cancellation of a planned $64 million grant intended for the development of a high-speed rail line between Houston and Dallas, a project spearheaded by Texas Central. The decision comes amidst ongoing challenges, including legal disputes and funding issues, which have delayed the project's progress. Duffy emphasized that the state's focus will shift towards enhancing existing transportation infrastructure, such as highways and airports, to meet the growing demands of Texas's population and economy. This move has sparked a mix of reactions, with some supporting the reallocation of funds to more immediate needs, while others lament the lost opportunity for innovative transportation solutions in the region.
