Overview
Location: Central Los Angeles
Phase: Design & Engineering
Type: Better Transit
Forecasted Opening: To be determined
Metro’s plan for better transit includes improvements at Union Station and better connections between Metrolink, Metro Rail and bus services, and future high-speed rail service.
As envisioned, the Link US Project includes new run-through tracks on an elevated rail yard to improve operational flexibility, expand capacity at Los Angeles Union Station (LAUS), and accommodate future high-speed rail service.
The Link US Project also proposes an expanded passageway for shorter wait times and a better transfer experience.
Metro is partnering closely with the California High-Speed Rail Authority (CHSRA) on this project, as well as working with the California State Transportation Agency (CalSTA), the Southern California Regional Rail Authority (SCRRA), Amtrak, Los Angeles – San Diego – San Luis Obispo (LOSSAN) Rail Corridor Agency, California Department of Transportation.

Metro completed an environmental review of this project under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) in 2019. Environmental review under the National Environmental Protection Act (NEPA) is currently underway.
