The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) celebrated a major milestone with the grand opening of its 5.5-mile Rail to Rail Active Transportation Corridor, a multimodal path connecting key communities in Inglewood and South Los Angeles.
The corridor follows a former freight rail right-of-way and provides a seamless link between three major Metro stations via a continuous biking and walking path.
The project aims to enhance community connectivity, promote active transportation, and foster safer, healthier neighborhoods.
The $166 million project was made possible through voter-approved Measure R and Measure M funding and is part of Metro’s 28 by 28 initiative, which prioritizes the completion of key infrastructure projects ahead of the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games in Los Angeles.
The path also serves residents and visitors near two major Olympic venues: SoFi Stadium and the Intuit Dome.
The Rail to Rail corridor includes:
17 Metro bus lines, three DASH lines, and five Metro Bike Share stations.
Rest areas, benches, and shade trees.
Proximity to schools, parks, and neighborhood amenities.
472 newly planted indigenous trees and sustainable landscaping for stormwater management.
52 security cameras, nine emergency phones, and community interventional specialists (CIS) to enhance public safety.

Metro is already planning the next phase, the Rail to River Active Transportation Corridor, which will extend the path approximately four more miles east along Randolph Street through Bell, Maywood, Huntington Park, and Florence-Firestone, ultimately reaching the Los Angeles River.
Completion is expected by 2027.
“The first and last mile of people’s journeys can make or break their transit experience,” said Metro CEO Stephanie Wiggins. “This project connects transit lines and neighborhoods in a meaningful way. I hope it will be well used and well loved by the community and all the people we serve.”
Today’s riders—and the communities you serve—expect more from public transit. While ADA compliance is required, leading transit agencies know that true accessibility also means delivering dignity, efficiency, and a better rider experience. This whitepaper reveals why forward thinking agencies nationwide choose the Low Floor Frontrunner as their first choice for ADA compliant vehicles—setting a new standard with passenger first design, faster boarding, improved safety, and unmatched operational performance.
