$900 Million Airport Metro Connector Project Update

Close to $900 million has been approved for construction set to begin later this year. Station will be located near Aviation Blvd. and 96th st. which will intersect with the LAX automated people mover line.

The goal of this new Airport Metro Connector Transit Station (AMC) is to provide a reliable, fast, and convenient connection for passengers traveling between LAX and the regional bus and rail transit system. By integrating with existing and future transit connections and airport facilities, Metro hopes to increase public transit trips to and from LAX with minimal impact to airport facilities and surrounding communities and to help reduce air pollution. Core features planned for the new multi-modal AMC include the following:

A new large capacity light rail station as part of the Crenshaw/LAX Line and the C Line
An extensive Bus Plaza and terminal facility for Metro and municipal bus operators
Active Transportation hub with secured bicycle parking
A new Metro Customer Center
Pedestrian plaza with passenger pick-up and drop-off area
Direct connection to the future LAX Automated People Mover (APM)

There is not a word from the construction contract yet. So this might open in 2024. But LAX people mover doing great, that will still open in 2023.

This will be great. It will serve as a secondary transit hub for LAX passengers with the ITF being the primary transit hub. Decentralizing the passenger and vehicle traffic away from the horseshoe will be a huge game changer.

Such a long time to get this done, but will definitely be worth it in the end.

Thank you for the update. Do you know why they built 2 stations very close together and didn't build just one in CONRAC? When I saw that they were only doing the Century one, I couldn't imagine the connection.
