San Gorgonio Pass
The growing region of the San Gorgonio Pass is the gateway that connects the Coachella Valley with the more urbanized western Riverside County. Its role as a regional “bridge” means it carries a disproportionate amount of traffic. Through the TRP, residents in the San Gorgonio Pass will see improvements to the local interchange, streets and roads, and a new stop along the Coachella Valley Rail.
Safe Streets & Roads
The TRP will keep roads, highways, and sidewalks safe and smooth throughout Riverside County. The plan includes a range of road and safety improvements, including fixing potholes, upgrading medians and intersections, modernizing traffic signals, and protecting infrastructure from natural hazards.
Examples of road safety and maintenance improvements include:
- I-10 Bypass between Banning and Cabazon
Highways
The TRP will reduce traffic congestion by completing freeway projects, improving interchanges and connections, using innovative technologies, adding new lanes, and more.
Examples of highway improvements include:
- Adding Express Lanes on I-10 between SR-60 in Beaumont and Highway 111
- Reconstructing interchanges at:
- I-10 at SR-79 (Beaumont Avenue) in Beaumont
- I-10 at Highland Springs Avenue in Beaumont and Banning
- I-10 at Pennsylvania Avenue in Beaumont
- I-10 at Morongo Parkway
- I-10 at Main Street in Cabazon
- I-10 at County Line Road in Calimesa
- I-10 at Cherry Valley Boulevard in Calimesa
Regional Connections
The TRP will create new multimodal travel corridors that will relieve congestion, reduce commute time, and provide faster and safer alternatives to today’s limited routes.
Examples of new regional connections include:
- I-10 Bypass between Banning and Cabazon
Public Transportation
The TRP makes a historic investment in Riverside County’s public transportation system, including by increasing the frequency and safety of trains and buses, building new tracks and stations, and adding new transit and mobility options.
Examples of public transportation improvements include:
- Expanding rail service into the Coachella Valley and cities like Beaumont, Banning, Cabazon, and Calimesa
- Constructing new rail stations in the San Gorgonio Pass area, including in Beaumont, Banning, and nearby cities
- Expanding rapid and commuter bus services to locations like Beaumont, Banning, and Calimesa
