Now recognised as the LAX/Metro Transit Center Station, the new station occupies a roughly 9.5-acre property adjacent to the K Line’s new routine maintenance and storage facility, and will sooner or later enable passenger on the two the K and C Traces ( as very well as local buses) to transfer to LAX’s new automated people mover program.
The at-grade transit hub will include things like:
- a 16-bay bus plaza with capacity for charging infrastructure
- a multi-degree energetic transportation and bike hub
- a motor vehicle fall-off zone
- a consumer services middle
- public rest room facilities outside of the fare compensated zone
- industrial area and
- a sculpture by Los Angeles artist Glenn Kaino, which will be integrated into the station’s hub composition.

Construction of station, which predicted to open up in 2024, has delayed the debut of the remaining leg of Metro’s K Line. Even though passenger assistance commenced between Westchester/Veterans Station and Expo/Crenshaw Station in Oct, trains are unable to go by way of the new LAX prevent to arrive at supplemental K Line stations to the south. Having said that, Metro is protecting entry to the adjacent rail routine maintenance and storage facility all through development.
