The Airport Metro Connector Project (AMC) will be the ninth station along the Crenshaw/LAX (C/LAX) Line and will connect directly with the Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA) Automated People Mover (APM) and become the key multi-modal gateway to the Metro system from Los Angeles International Airport (LAX).
