The High Desert Corridor is a proposed multimodal corridor in northern Los Angeles and San Bernardino Counties in the U.S. state of California. The project, which will travel between Palmdale and Apple Valley through the High Desert region, would consist of both a four-lane freeway connecting State Route 14 in Palmdale with State Route 18 in Victor Valley, a high-speed rail line connecting the California High-Speed Rail system at its proposed Palmdale station with the Brightline West route at its proposed Victor Valley station, and a bikeway, along with green energy elements.[1][2][3][4][5]
