The Crenshaw/LAX Transit Corridor Project is a proposed 8.5-mile light rail line that will extend from the intersection of Exposition and Crenshaw Boulevards to the Metro Green Lines Aviation/LAX Station. The Board adopted this light rail alternative as the Locally Preferred Alternative (LPA) on December 10, 2009. The Project will serve the cities of Los Angeles, Inglewood, Hawthorne, and El Segundo and portions of unincorporated Los Angeles County.
