Estimated Project Completion

2030-2033

Metro is extending light rail service from Redondo Beach Station to the Torrance Transit Center, adding 4.5 miles of new track and projected to serve 11,500 daily riders by 2042. This extension will also now operate as the southern continuation of the K Line from Redondo Beach (formerly C Line).

The Final Environmental Impact Report (Final EIR) is anticipated to be released in summer 2025. The Final EIR will respond to public feedback received during the Draft EIR review period and include refined plans based on field work, technical studies, and community input. The public will have an opportunity to review the Final EIR prior to the Metro Board considering certification and approval of the project during a public meeting anticipated in fall 2025. Metro continues to collect community input on the project and will compile all feedback to share with the Metro Board before any action is taken on the project.

In May 2024, the Metro Board selected the Hybrid Alternative as the Locally Preferred Alternative (LPA), combining features from proposed routes evaluated in the Draft EIR. Shaped by community input, the selected alignment provides two new rail stations, community walking paths, and upgrades to the existing freight track along the Metro-owned ROW to reduce noise and vibration and enhance safety.
