The $898.6-million project is the ninth station along the Crenshaw/LAX Line and will connect directly with the Los Angeles World Airports Automated People Mover project.
The agency's purchase will add 155 zero-emission buses to the city’s fleet.
First started in 2009, 154 public transit agencies and businesses have signed on to the APTA Sustainability Commitment.
Under her leadership, Transpo has rebranded, transitioned to designated bus stops, and launched programs to increase ridership.
Features of the yard include pollution reducing construction processes and easy access to public transportation for workers.
Complemented by LEED guidance that was released in 2017 for existing transit stations.
The one-story, 10,000 square foot bus terminal features an indoor waiting area, ticketing offices, a cafeteria, restrooms, nine bus bays, parking, and a customer drop off area on Stuart Street.
Since voters green-lit the project by approving its major funding source in 2012, some $1.7 billion in economic development has initiated around the 2.2-mile streetcar line.
The station incorporates a number of sustainable elements, including a photovoltaic roof, occupancy-controlled lighting, and the re-use of rooftop water runoff for the station’s water feature.
Establishing a function-first facility that then integrates passive design strategies can lead to more operationally and energy efficient transit facilities.
