Document Description
The Coachella Valley – San Gorgonio Pass Rail Corridor Service Program (Program) proposes to implement a safe, reliable, and convenient intercity passenger rail service between Los Angeles Union Station and the Coachella Valley along the 144-mile long Program Corridor. The Tier 1/Program EIS/EIR considered potential environmental impacts of the No Build Alternative and the three Build Alternative Options broadly within the Program Corridor. The Final Tier 1/Program EIS/EIR identified Build Alternative Option 1 as the Preferred Alternative that best meets the Tier 1/Program Purpose and Need. The Selected Alternative, Build Alternative Option 1, is a 144-mile long corridor that consists of a Western Section, terminating at Los Angeles Union Station, and an Eastern Section, terminating in the City of Coachella.
