Project Overview*

The Regional Connector Transit Corridor (Regional Connector) will enable Los Angeles County rail to operate more efficiently and attract higher ridership, thus reducing congestion, improving air quality, and lessening our carbon footprint. By linking several Light Rail Transit (LRT) systems through Downtown Los Angeles, the Regional Connector will increase regional mobility by providing access to new destinations for transit riders.

The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) Board of Directors accepted the Draft Environmental Impact Statement and Environmental Impact Report (EIS/EIR) and designated the Locally Preferred Alternative (LPA), clearing the way for implementation of the Regional Connector Project.

As illustrated below, the Regional Connector, a 1.9-mile fully underground line, will connect the Metro Gold Line, Blue Line, and Expo Line and provide three new underground stations.
