Project Grant
Overview
Grant Description
Application purpose: The purpose of this award is to fund the construction of the Rail to River Active Transportation Corridor (ATC) project also known as the Rail to Rail ATC project.
The Rail to Rail ATC project will improve multimodal connectivity in historically disadvantaged communities in Los Angeles County by constructing an active transportation project along Slauson Avenue from the Metro K Line (Crenshaw) Fairview Heights Station to the Metro A (Blue) Line Slauson Station.
This investment in a multi-use corridor for bicyclists and pedestrians will link together three north-south transit lines in Metro's system increasing mobility options, enhancing access to community-identified destinations, connecting with local Metro and municipal bus services located adjacent to and within one-quarter mile of the corridor, and provide a safer path of travel for the thousands of students, residents, and commuters who are anticipated to use the project corridor daily for a variety of trip purposes.
Upon completion, approximately five miles of Class I bike path infrastructure will be in place and safety for pedestrians and bicyclists will be significantly enhanced.
Activities performed: $4,000,000 of in FFY23 CPF funds and $1,000,000 in local match will be used for the construction of a multi-use corridor for bicyclists and pedestrians.
Expected outcomes: The federal funds will be used to construct a 5.6 mile active transportation corridor along an east-west Metro owned right-of-way (ROW) alignment from the Metro Crenshaw/Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) Fairview Heights Station to the Metro Blue Line Slauson Station.
This investment in a multi-use corridor for bicyclists and pedestrians will link together three regionally significant north-south transit lines in Metro's system (the Crenshaw/LAX Light Rail Transit (LRT), the Silver Line Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) located on the 110 Harbor Transitway, and the Blue Line LRT).
Upon completion, approximately five (5) miles of pedestrian walkways, Class I bicycle path, and striping will be developed and approximately 0.5 mile of striping for Class II and III bikeways on Los Angeles City ROW for the connection between the Fairview Heights Station and the ATC.
Intended beneficiaries: Populace of the LACMTA transit service area and local area commuters including residents of historically disadvantaged communities in South Los Angeles.
The project will improve multimodal connectivity, increase mobility options, enhance access to community-identified destinations, connecting with local Metro and municipal bus services, and provide safer path of travel for students, residents, and commuters.
Subrecipient activities: None.
