LA Metro recommends two teams for start of Sepulveda Transit Corridor project

The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (LA Metro) has released its recommendation for two private sector teams to conduct pre-development work on the Sepulveda Transit Corridor project.

The corridor will directly connect the San Fernando Valley and the Westside via a high-speed, high-capacity transit line.

LA Metro will ask its board in March to approve two multimillion-dollar contracts to perform these services. LA Metro is recommending LA SkyRail Express for its proposed monorail concept and Sepulveda Transit Corridor Partners–Bechtel for its proposed heavy-rail concept.

Both proposals will be refined further based on public feedback and the environmental review process moving forward, according to an LA Metro news release.
