Exposition Transit Corridor, Phase 1 to Culver City


Overview

The first phase of the Exposition Transit Corridor to Culver City is currently being built under the management of the Exposition Construction Authority (Expo). Metro is providing the funding for the 8.5 mile Corridor project, which, when completed, will be the first to connect Downtown LA with the Westside and Culver City.

Expo will remain the owner of the project during its final design and construction phases and, once the line opens, it will be wholly-owned and operated by Metro.

Ten new stations will be sited along the Metro-owned Exposition right-of-way from the existing Metro Rail station at 7th/Metro Center in Downtown LA to the Venice/Robertson intersection in Culver City. Although the alignment will be primarily at-grade, the project includes aerial stations at Expo/La Brea, La Cienega/Jefferson and Culver City.

MREC facts include:

  • Metro will integrate the Expo Corridor into its existing light rail network and operate the line once construction is complete.
  • When the line opens to the public, it will join the Metro rail system which will offer 80 stations and over 87 miles of rail to destinations across L.A. County.
  • Riders will be able to connect with other Metro Rail lines at 7th/Metro Center in Downtown LA and Metro Bus lines at every station.
  • All stations will include public art.
  • The new stations include:
    • 23rd St.
    • Jefferson/USC
    • Expo Park/USC
    • Expo/Vermont
    • Expo/Western
    • Expo/Crenshaw
    • Farmdale
    • Expo/La Brea
    • La Cienega/Jefferson
    • Culver City
