Stantec is working with the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) on the Willowbrook/Rosa Parks Station Improvement Project in Los Angeles. The Project will reimagine the existing Willowbrook/Rosa Parks Station as a community hub with an expanded and more efficient passenger experience, improved connections to the surrounding community, and streamlined rail and bus transfers.
Stantec is providing architecture, lighting design, and project management on the project. Key subconsultants include Kimley Horn & Associates for transit planning and civil engineering; Miyamoto International and PacRim Engineering for structural engineering; PBS Engineers for mechanical, plumbing, and electrical engineering; and W2 Design for utilities and civil engineering.

The $109 million expansion of Willowbrook/Rosa Parks Station is critical, as the station has grown to the fourth most heavily used in the Metro system. Project highlights include:
Metro Customer Service and Security Center: The new center will have space for traditional customer service — purchasing tickets, getting help with route planning —and also house a security station and traffic court, bringing that function much closer to the community.
Metro Bike Hub: The Bike Hub provides a secure and protected space for bicycle parking, but it will also be an education center — with seminars and workshops planned on bike safety and maintenance.
Community Plaza: This open-air space has been designed as a public resource to be used for community events year-round, including special exhibits, celebrations, movie nights, and food trucks.
Station Remodel: The heart of the facility is the station itself, which will be closed for a period of time for construction. The remodel includes: extending the platform and mezzanine connection, providing greater capacity, and daylight for those using the platform; a new pedestrian crossing across Metro and Union Pacific tracks; new elevators and stairs between the Blue and Green lines; a new “kiss-and-ride” dedicated drop-off location; and additional dedicated bus bays.
“The transformation of the Willowbrook/Rosa Parks Station into a modern transit hub is being made possible by our local, state and federal funding partners,” said Metro CEO Phillip A. Washington. “In addition to providing a better mobility experience for our customers, this crucial work will improve the quality of life for the Willowbrook community.”
The tour reflects LIT’s commitment to supporting professional growth, collaboration, and opportunity for individuals at all career stages within the transit industry, according to LIT officials.
Curated and facilitated by transportation industry leaders, LITLA provides a high-quality, structured learning experience that combines theoretical knowledge, professional networking, and practical leadership application.

The brand strategy was developed based on input from RTA board members, staff, and stakeholders, along with secondary research conducted over a months-long process.
In close coordination with regional partners including Caltrain and BART, the agency ensured convenient interagency connections and seamless transfers for game-day passengers.
Because rail has high fixed costs and low marginal savings, it is impossible to close the projected FY27 $376M deficit with service cuts and fare increases alone, said agency officials.
The total ridership includes all fixed-route bus service, C-VAN paratransit service, The Current, Vanpool, and special event service. Almost all individual routes saw year-over-year increases from 2024 to 2025.
