Do not fill this in! ==Transportation== Near Coachella, a new four-lane expressway, [[California State Route 86|State Route 86]], was built for international trucking from [[Mexicali, Mexico]] to Los Angeles or Arizona. Referred to as the "NAFTA highway" (in reference to the [[North American Free Trade Agreement]] took effect in 1994), it replaces an older and less safe two-lane road known as the "killer highway, deadly highway, and death highway" where over 400 auto accident fatalities took place since 1980. A plan is being developed for new passenger rail service that would span approximately 144 miles from Los Angeles Union Station (LAUS) to Coachella. Construction would take an estimated ten years following completion of an [[Environmental Impact Statement]]/[[Environmental Impact Report]] (EIS/EIR). <ref>{{cite news |last1=Worrell |first1=Carolina |title=Proposed L.A.-Indio Passenger Rail Service Makes Headway |url=https://www.railwayage.com/passenger/intercity/proposed-l-a-indio-passenger-rail-service-makes-headway/?RAchannel=news |access-date=23 July 2022 |work=Railway Age |date=July 20, 2022}}</ref> Summary: Please note that all contributions to Christianpedia may be edited, altered, or removed by other contributors.
