TEST Metro C Line Extension to Torrance (CLET) 

Keeping the South Bay connected with enhanced transit service.

Project Detail

The Metro C Line (Green) Extension to Torrance aims to significantly enhance your travel options in LA County by extending light rail from the Metro Redondo Beach Station to the new Torrance Transit Center.

As part of our ongoing efforts to improve connectivity across the South Bay, this project will offer a much-needed alternative to the congested I-405 corridor, linking you directly with major Metro Rail lines for easier access to regional destinations.
