Project Overview

Connecting Las Vegas to SoCal.

Brightline West will be America’s first true high-speed passenger rail system. The modern, eco-friendly system will redefine train travel in America and connect two of our most iconic destinations: Las Vegas and Southern California.

 

The 218-mile passenger rail service will operate from Las Vegas to Rancho Cucamonga, California with the majority of the alignment within the median of the I-15.

Today, nearly 50 million annual trips occur between Los Angeles and Las Vegas – over 85% of them by automobile – a trip which is unpredictable, unreliable and challenged by congestion. Brightline West expects to serve 9 million one-way passengers annually.
