The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) is initiating a draft Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the C Line (Green) Extension to Torrance project pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Virtual Scoping Meetings will be held on Wednesday, February 24 and Saturday, February 27 to gather public input on the project.
The virtual meetings are being held to solicit comments from the public on the scope and content of the draft EIR and potential environmental effects from the project. The formal scoping comment period runs through March 15, 2021.
The C Line (Green) Extension to Torrance project is studying light rail transit options between the existing Redondo Beach Station and the under-construction Torrance Transit Center. Trains from both the Metro C Line (Green) and the future Crenshaw/LAX Transit Project may run on this new extension. Metro is hosting virtual public scoping meetings to accept both written and oral comments on the scope of the draft EIR.

-Provide an alternative mode of transportation for commuters currently using congested arterials and I-405 in the project study area.
-Improve transit accessibility for South Bay community residents.
-Reduce air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions by making transit a more viable transportation choice.
