California will receive the largest chunk of $8 billion in funds for 13 high-speed rail corridors in regional population centers. President Obama will announce the funding this afternoon in Tampa, Fla., along with Vice President Joe Biden. Thirty-one states will share the Transportation Department money, part of the $787 billion American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, connecting cities such as Seattle and Portland in the Pacific Northwest; Detroit and Chicago in the Midwest; and Charlotte, N.C., and Washington, D.C., in the Southeast.
