The Green Line: It’s Time to Build

The Redondo Beach Chamber is joining forces with the Green Line Coalition which aims to improve Southern California's transportation infrastructure by facilitating an extension of the Metro Green Line to LAX.

This extension will alleviate traffic congestion, reduce air pollution, and provide a convenient alternative to private automobile use for LAX travelers. The approximately 2-mile long LAX Green Line extension will run from the current terminus at Aviation and I-105 to a station at Aviation and Century Boulevards and terminate near Lincoln and Sepulveda Boulevards.

In 1994, the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) approved an Environmental Impact Report/ Environmental Impact Statement (EIR/EIS) and a Statement of Overriding Considerations to construct a Metro Green Line Northern Extension to LAX and beyond to Marina del Rey. This alignment was included in MTA's Long Range Transit Plan (LRTP).

Due to subsequent funding constraints during the 1990s, the extension was never constructed and LAX was never connected into the regional rail network. This Green Line extension was expected to eventually continue north on Lincoln Boulevard and provide direct rail access between LAX and Santa Monica and West Los Angeles.

It’s time to build the needed infrastructure to bring the Green Line to Redondo Beach.
