Metro will host three community open houses - one of which will be virtual - on January 21, 24, and 26 - for the Sepulveda Transit Corridor Project, which will build a heavy rail line or monorail between the San Fernando Valley and West Los Angeles area.  

Metro is now conducting its environmental review for the project and engaging Pre-Development Agreement (PDA) teams to help evaluate and refine potential project alternatives. Six potential transit alternatives are being evaluated: three heavy rail alternatives and three monorail alternatives.   

The open houses will provide information specific to the potential station locations and their entrances under study, will give the opportunity to ask questions of agency staff and consultants, as well as the Pre-Development Agreement (PDA) team.  

The Sepulveda Transit Corridor Project will be divided into two different segments: an initial segment travelling between the San Fernando Valley and Westside and a second segment from the Westside to Los Angeles International Airport (LAX).  

The project is funded in part by Measure M, the transportation sales tax approved by 71% of L.A. County voters in 2016. The Measure M funding plan identified EUR8.78 bn (USD9.5 bn) in funding from local, state, and federal sources EUR5.27 bn (USD5.7 bn) for the Valley-Westside segment and EUR3.51 bn (USD3.8 bn) for the Westside-LAX segment.
