Metro is studying the areas around Purple (D Line) Extension, Section 1 for opportunities to improve walking and biking connections to the future rail stations.
The plan will cover the following stations:
- Wilshire/La Brea
- Wilshire/Fairfax
- Wilshire/La Cienega
What is First/Last Mile?
An individual’s trip is understood as the entire journey from origin to destination. Individuals may use a number of modes (types) of transport to complete the journey – they may walk, drive, ride a bicycle, take a train, or - in many cases - combine a number of modes. Bus and rail services often form the core of a trip, but users complete the first and last portion on their own. For example, they must first walk, bike, drive or roll themselves to and from the nearest station. This is referred to as the first and last mile of the user’s trip. Find out more here !

- Wilshire/Rodeo

Get Involved
The First/Last Mile planning process is strengthened with community participation and feedback. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and related safety measures, most of our usual engagement processes have moved online.
Starting in March 2021, Metro will launch an online survey for public feedback. The survey will be available for one month and we look forward to receiving comments.
