Los Angeles County Rail Network Integration Study

Metro has a plan to make it easier to move around LA County with seamless transfers and expanded access.

Metro’s Rail Network Integration Study for LA County will explore opportunities for integrating services between Metro’s transit network, the statewide commuter rail system (Metrolink/Amtrak), and future High Speed Rail stations in LA County. The study aims to identify policy recommendations, infrastructure improvements, and operational enhancements for three regional hubs with the greatest opportunities for transfers outside of downtown Los Angeles:

1. Van Nuys Metrolink Station,
2. Burbank’s Metrolink stations (Downtown Burbank and Burbank Airport Stations),
3. and Norwalk/Santa Fe Metrolink Station combined with the adjacent Metro C Line Norwalk Station

This study supports the goals of the Metro Vision 2028 Strategic Plan, as well as the 2018 and 2023 California State Rail Plan by planning for seamless travel experiences across rail and public transit in California, with benefits for social equity and sustainability. The intent of this study is to facilitate interagency coordination on infrastructure investments and to provide a roadmap to implement features of the State Rail Plan.
