Station Activations Program
Station Activations enhance the rider experience and support local economies by bringing welcoming and uniquely LA experiences to Metro stations.
What We Do
Metro’s Station Activations program brings stations to life with markets, food and coffee, arts and cultural programming, performances, recreation and other rider-focused experiences. By creating consistent positive presence to stations, the program makes the transit experience more welcoming and engaging, strengthens connections to surrounding communities, supports local businesses and contributes to a greater sense of place.
Why We Do Activations
Better rider experience. Make time spent at Metro stations more welcoming, enjoyable and useful. Activated stations improve customer satisfaction scores in rider surveys.
Stronger communities. Connect riders with local businesses, culture, resources and experiences that reflect the neighborhoods Metro serves. Activations generate consistent revenue and audience engagement for activation partners through visibility, sales, and marketing.
Positive presence. Create consistent activity that contributes to stations feeling active, cared for and welcoming. Activated stations improve the perception of safety in rider surveys.
Who We Partner With
Station Activations partner with small businesses, artists, cultural organizations, community groups and other local partners to create experiences that reflect the neighborhoods Metro serves. Partners may operate markets, provide food and beverages, lead events, perform, share resources or help bring new ideas to Metro spaces.
