Location

LAX/Metro Transit Center station (called the East ITF by LAX and known as Aviation/96th Street during planning) is an under-construction light rail transport hub in the Los Angeles County Metro Rail system, located near the intersection of Aviation Boulevard and 96th Street in the Westchester district of Los Angeles. The station was designed as a station for the C and K lines.^[2] In 2014, LAWA and the LA Metro committee approved a plan for a people mover to the LAX airport terminals, which will connect to Metro at this station.

Plans for both the new airport station and the Aviation/Century station continue. The Century railroad bridge was demolished on July 25, 2014. The LAX/Metro Transit Center station is currently under construction and slated to open in late 2024, several months after the people mover begins operation.^[3][4]

Connections

The station will replace the LAX City Bus Center and is expected to be served by:

• Beach Cities Transit line 109 to Redondo Beach,
• Culver CityBus lines 6 and Rapid 6 to Culver City and UCLA,
• Los Angeles Metro Bus lines 102 to South Gate, 111 to Norwalk, 117 to Downey, & 232 to Long Beach,
• Santa Monica Big Blue Bus lines 3 & Rapid 3 to Santa Monica,
• Torrance Transit line 8 to Torrance.

The bus plaza may include fast-charging stations for electric buses, given the fact that a majority of the agencies serving the station have goals to electrify their bus fleets around the 2030 mark^[5][6].

Future Metro transit connections

Metro has proposed to make this station the southern terminus for phase two of the Sepulveda Transit Corridor. Metro is in the route planning stage for phase one of the corridor as of 2022^[update] with completion planned for around 2040. Metro has also proposed the LAX/Metro Transit Center station as the southern terminus for the Lincoln Boulevard Transit Corridor bus rapid transit line with a completion date of 2047. Both projects are funded by Measure M.
