L.A. County Rail Expansion: Upcoming Trains and Their Arrival Dates
Los Angeles County transit leaders will vote this week on a proposed northern extension of the K Line. The route would run through Mid-City and West Hollywood.
Supporters call the project a central piece of a more connected transit network. They say it could help reduce auto dependence across the county.
These projects form part of L.A. County rail expansion plans, linking upcoming trains with projected arrival dates for many neighborhoods.
LAX connection and automated people mover
Last June, the L.A. County Metropolitan Transportation Authority opened the LAX/Metro transit center. The facility brings the C and K lines closer to airport terminals.
An automated people mover that links the transit center to Los Angeles International Airport is expected to open later this year. The line will provide a direct connection between rail and terminals.
South Bay: K Line south to Torrance
In January, Metro approved an extension of the K Line to Torrance. The project adds 4.5 miles of light rail and two stations.
The extension runs from the Redondo Beach station on Marine Avenue to the Torrance Transit Center. It expands light rail service across the South Bay.
Pomona: A Line extension
In September, the A Line extension to Pomona began passenger service. The new segment added nine miles and four stations.
Those stations serve communities in the eastern San Gabriel Valley. The extension increases regional rail connectivity.
Sepulveda Pass transit corridor
In January, Metro approved a multibillion-dollar plan for the Sepulveda Transit Corridor. The proposal calls for a 13-mile underground subway.
The tunnel would connect the San Fernando Valley with the Westside. Officials describe it as a major north‑south transit link.
Wilshire Boulevard: D Line extension
The D Line is undergoing a nine-mile westward extension. The first phase is set to open in May.
Phase one will link Koreatown to the Wilshire/La Cienega area. Later sections will continue through Beverly Hills and Century City.
The final segment will extend service to Westwood and UCLA. The full buildout will stretch rail farther into the Westside.
Southeast L.A. County: Southeast Gateway Line
The Southeast Gateway Line is a planned 14.5-mile light rail connection. It will link the A Line to Artesia and add nine stations.
The line aims to serve largely working-class Latino communities across southeast Los Angeles County. It is not scheduled to open until 2035.
