Metro is planning a 12.4-mile Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) line along Vermont Avenue, from Sunset Boulevard to 120th Street. The project will improve speed, reliability, and access for over 38,000 daily riders, connecting the Metro B/D Lines, E Line and C Line , as well as various east-west bus lines, to many key activity centers, including educational, cultural, medical, governmental, and faith-based institutions.
Status Update
Over the past year, Metro has achieved several key milestones for the Vermont Transit Corridor BRT Project. On March 28, 2025, Metro’s Board approved the CEQA SB 922 environmental document and selected the 12.4-mile side-running BRT alternative as the locally preferred alternative. The Project subsequently received a National Environmental Policy Act Categorical Exclusion determination, completing federal environmental clearance. In addition, the project reached the 30 percent Preliminary Engineering design milestone on December 1, 2025, and Metro awarded the Construction Manager/General Contractor contract February 2026, advancing the project toward final design and construction.
Metro is currently progressing final design activities in close coordination with key stakeholders, including the City and County of Los Angeles, Caltrans, the California Public Utilities Commission, and utility providers. Metro is also pursuing Federal Transit Administration Small Starts funding and continues to engage with the public through participation in community events and outreach efforts. These ongoing activities support project development, interagency coordination, and preparation for future construction.
