Faster Highways

Widen I-10 east of Cook Street
Better Train Service
Invest in passenger train infrastructure and services, such as train stations, that connect the Coachella Valley to Los Angeles, Orange County, and Riverside
New Technology
Improve traffic flow by synchronizing traffic signals and new mobility concepts that connect the workforce to the workplace and to reduce seasonal and event-related traffic congestion
Flood & Dust Control
Upgrading infrastructure to eliminate or reduce road closures associated with natural disasters such as flooding and blowing sand
