Active Projects

Blue Line First/Last Mile Plan

This plan identifies pedestrian and bicycle improvements within the walking (1/2 mile) and biking (3 mile) distances of each station on the Blue Line, 22 stations in total. This is the first comprehensive first/last mile plan by Metro for an entire rail line and was completed in 2018 through a community-based process. The Blue Line First/Last Mile Plan is now available.

Inglewood First/Last Mile Plan

This plan identifies pedestrian and bicycle improvements within the walking (1/2 mile) and biking (3 mile) distances of three stations on the Crenshaw/LAX Line (Fairview Heights, Downtown Inglewood, Westchester/Veterans), and one station on the Green Line (Crenshaw). This is the first first/last mile project with committed implementation funding from the City of Inglewood.

Transit to Open Space Plan

The Transit to Open Space and Parks Plan will recommend cost-effective investments for connecting disadvantaged and park poor communities to open space and parks using transit. The planning process will: engage potential partners and stakeholders, analyze park access needs, especially for disadvantaged communities, and provide data to guide decision-making on future projects and investments. Key lessons to inform this plan are in the Transit to Parks Case Studies .

Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities

Administered by the Strategic Growth Council, the AHSC Program funds land-use, housing, transportation, and land preservation projects to support .infill and compact development that reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Metro provided support to the County and the City of Los Angeles on three applications for the 2018 funding cycle.

Analysis and Selection of VMT Mitigation Measures Pursuant to SB 743

Senate Bill 743 (SB 743) was signed in 2013, and required the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research (OPR) to identify new metrics for identifying and mitigating transportation impacts under California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). As a result, OPR identified Vehicle miles Traveled (VMT) per capita and VMT per employee as the new metrics for transportation analysis.
This report summarizes the analysis of potential transportation impacts, under new guidelines, to previously certified Environmental Impact Reports (EIRs) where LA Metro is the Lead Agency or, in the case of highway projects, may have a role in mitigation measures.

Purple Line First/Last Mile Phases 2 and 3

The plan includes development of first/last mile station area plans for four stations on the Purple Line Sections 2 and 3 (Wilshire/Rodeo, Constellation, UCLA, and VA). It also includes the development of guidelines on how first/last mile improvements will be incorporated into all of Metro’s future transit capital projects.

Gold Line Foothill Extension 2B

The plan includes development of first/last mile station area plans for five stations on the Gold Line Extension Phase 2B (Glendora, San Dimas, La Verne, Pomona, Claremont). The development of the station plans will include close coordination with the Gold Line Construction Authority and coordination with the five cities around the station areas.

East San Fernando Valley Transit Corridor

The East San Fernando Valley First/Last Mile Plan will identify and develop biking and walking improvements connecting to the 14 stations of the planned Metro Rail corridor, which will connect the Orange Line Van Nuys station in Los Angeles to the city of San Fernando to the north.
