Connecting the Entire Coachella Valley 

The Coachella Valley Association of Governments (CVAG) is dedicated to transforming and promoting active mobility across the Coachella Valley. The CV Link Community Connectors Project is creating a comprehensive plan that identifies connections and routes to link neighborhoods to the CV Link, a pathway for biking, walking, and other transportation. These routes will also connect to schools, parks, community centers, businesses, and other important destinations across the Coachella Valley. This plan will serve as a document to guide future funding applications and support the development of sustainable, multimodal transportation options. By reducing car trips and improving accessibility, the project seeks to enhance mobility and community well-being.

Central to this mission is the continued development of CV Link, a multi-modal pathway for biking, walking, and low-speed electric vehicles.

The CV Link Community Connectors Project builds on the foundation of CV Link by:

  • Identifying walking and biking routes from neighborhoods to daily destinations such as schools, parks, community centers, and businesses
  • Creating infrastructure improvements to disadvantaged communities and promoting affordable housing and infill development to improve accessibility
  • Increasing sustainable, multimodal transportation options, to create a better connected, healthier, and thriving Coachella Valley
  • Producing a plan that identifies priority routes and will serve as a guide for future funding applications

How to Get Involved

 

As we move into the final phases of the project, the next two rounds will focus on sharing refined community connector options and gather feedback to help identify the final priority connections that best serve the community. There are various opportunities to learn more and help guide the final recommendations.
