The Crenshaw/LAX Transit Project is anticipated to start revenue service in the Fall of 2019. Unlike the recent Gold Line Foothill and Expo Line Santa Monica extensions in which case the rail line was further extended from the end of the line, the Crenshaw/LAX Line will connect with the Green Line at a mid-line location between Mariposa and Aviation Stations. Therefore, operations of both the Green and Crenshaw/LAX Lines must be planned as an integrated network vs. an extension of an existing line.

When Metro opens a new rail service, there are opportunities to make modifications to the existing service network to ensure customers have access to and from the new stations via bus service as a first mile/last mile travel option. In some cases, duplicative bus routes may be modified in recognition of the new rail line.
