Las Vegas and CAHSR have had a MOU for at least 5 years now.
• Working together now will provide opportunities to explore bringing high-speed rail
benefits to Southern California sooner
• Together the two systems provide a synergy and potential higher ridership and other
benefits greater than the sum of each system individually
• Provides an opportunity to leverage joint procurements and systems development
• State Treasurer and Infrastructure Bank are assisting with Virgin Trains financing through
a private activity bond allocation, introducing a new funding element in high-speed rail
delivery in California
• An extension from Victorville to Palmdale could bring international partners to the table,
and possible future public/private partnerships for Palmdale to LA/Anaheim project
delivery and operations
