Rebuild SoCal Partnership

The Rebuild SoCal Partnership (RSCP) consists of 2,750 contractors throughout Southern California that represent more than 90,000 union workers. RSCP is dedicated to working with elected officials and educating the public on the continued need for essential infrastructure funding, including airports, bridges, ports, rail, roads, and water projects.

2025 Infrastructure Report Card

The American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) has released its 2025 Infrastructure Report Card, indicating slight improvement overall. America’s infrastructure grade increased from a C- in 2021 to a C in 2025. This report also marks the first time since 1998 that no infrastructure category received a D- grade. Although the 2021 Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) contributed over $591 billion to various infrastructure sectors funding more than 60,000 projects, the new report highlights a significant remaining challenge: a $3.7 trillion funding gap over the next 10 years needed to achieve a state of good repair. ASCE President Marsha Geldert-Murphey noted, ‘For the second consecutive report, Report Card grades show that U.S. infrastructure is trending in the right direction thanks to comprehensive support, innovative solutions, and bold leadership.’ Continued investment in our nation’s infrastructure is critical.

Rebuild SoCal Partnership Urges Trump Administration to Reconsider Withdrawal of Federal Funding for California High-Speed Rail Project

Rebuild SoCal Partnership expresses deep concern and disappointment over the Trump Administration’s latest decision to withdraw $4 billion in federal funding from California’s High-Speed Rail project. The decision threatens the timely completion of the High-Speed Rail project and undermines California’s efforts to build a more efficient, sustainable, and equitable transportation future. Maintaining federal support is essential to attracting and securing additional private investment, a source of capital that depends on a stable, long-term commitment for project completion. By removing the federal funding portion of this project, the Trump administration is turning its back on a first-class infrastructure investment.

The California High-Speed Rail Authority (CHSRA) has consistently highlighted the immense economic benefits of the project, and pulling funding at this stage would not only halt that progress but also jeopardize thousands of jobs. The California High Speed Rail project is a massive job creator, generating more than 15,000 jobs in the Central Valley alone. “The California High-Speed Rail project is a proven job producer, with over 15,000 men and women currently on the ground building this transformative infrastructure. Withdrawing federal support now would be a profound disservice to these workers and the communities they live in,” said Jon Switalski, Executive Director of Rebuild SoCal Partnership.

California has long demonstrated its leadership in transportation innovation, and the High-Speed Rail project is critical to that legacy. The High-Speed Rail project would undoubtedly contribute to the state’s ability to maintain and possibly enhance its position as one of the leading global economies. We urge federal officials to reconsider this decision and aim to work collaboratively with state leaders to ensure the successful completion of this landmark project.

Rebuild SoCal Partnership remains committed to advocating for infrastructure investments that strengthen our communities, support working families, and drive long-term growth.
