Daily intercity passenger rail service will transform the way southern California residents travel, creating a car-free, stress-free option between major destinations, from downtown lights to desert delights.

The new service will expand the regional economy by opening travel options and connections to restaurants, resorts, concert venues, sports facilities, and commercial and retail centers across the southland.

Expanded train service will reduce vehicle miles traveled, generating fewer emissions and combating climate change through improved air quality and public health.

Service will promote equity in a long-underserved region by providing new access to employment, education, and recreational opportunities.

The service will support tourism regionwide, bringing people together from around the globe.

The Inland Empire is the fastest growing county in California and one of the fastest growing regions in the U.S., highlighting the important need for expanded service.

Service will link L.A. Union Station and the Coachella Valley, connecting riders 144 miles across the counties of Los Angeles, Orange, San Bernardino, and Riverside.

CV Rail makes up a large segment of Amtrak’s planned Tucson-Phoenix-Los Angeles corridor with connections to San Diego, Santa Barbara, the Pacific Northwest, and Arizona.

The Riverside County Transportation Commission is seeking state and federal funding for the Tier-2 project-level environmental studies of the Coachella Valley Rail Project. This project would offer daily intercity passenger rail service between Los Angeles and the Coachella Valley and enhance economic development, equity, mobility, and promote sustainability throughout Southern California.
