3 LA BREA AVIAION PRAIRIE Make Your Connection! More Options, Less Congestion > > Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) is one of the world s busiest transportation hubs with more than 1,200 daily flight operations and 60 million annual travelers. Voter-approved Measure R set in motion numerous transportation projects across the county including a transit connection to LAX. Project Goals 1. Provide a reliable, fast, and convenient connection for passengers traveling between the airport and the regional transit system 2. Satisfy the surface transportation travel demand associated with a modern, world-class international airport 3. Increase the share of transit trips to and from LAX and reduce regional traffic congestion 4. Integrate with existing and future transit connections and airport facilities Project Overview Metro is examining ways to connect the growing Metro Rail system to Los Angeles International Airport (LAX). he focus of this study is a four square mile area bounded by La Cienega Bl on the east, Manchester Av to the north, Imperial Highway to the south and the LAX airport terminals on the west. In the initial phase, a broad range of alternatives are under consideration for making the connection between the regional rail system and LAX, including various combinations of several modes, such as Light Rail ransit (LR), Automated People Mover (APM) and Bus Rapid ransit (BR).

4 LA BREA AVIAION PRAIRIE Haga su conexión! Más opciones, menos congestión > > El Aeropuerto Internacional de Los Ángeles (LAX) es uno de los centros de transporte más activos del mundo con operaciones de más de 1,200 vuelos diarios y 60 millones de viajeros anuales. Los votantes aprobaron la Medida R, que puso en movimiento numerosos proyectos de transporte a través del condado incluyendo una conexión de tránsito a LAX. Información general del proyecto Metro está examinando maneras de como conectar el sistema de Metro al Aeropuerto Internacional de Los Angeles (LAX). El enfoque de este estudio es una área de cuatro cuadradas de millas dentro de La Cienega Bl al este, Manchester Av al norte, Imperial Highway al sur y las terminales del aeropuerto LAX al oeste. En la primera fase hay una variedad de alternativas bajo consideración para conectar el sistema férreo regional con el aeropuerto de Los Angeles, incluyendo varias combinaciones de diferentes medios de transporte tales como un tren ligero, un movedor de gente automatizado, y un autobús rápido. Metas del proyecto 1. Ofrecer una conexión confiable, rápido y conveniente para los pasajeros que viajan dentro las terminals del aeropuerto y el sistema de transporte regional 2. Satisfacer la demanda de viajes por transporte de tierra asociada con un aeropuerto internacional moderno de clase mundial 3. Aumentar el porcentaje de viajes desde y hacia LAX y reducer la congestion de tráfico 4. Integrar las conexiones de transporte actuales y future con las instalaciones del aeropuerto Metro Green Line y estación Crenshaw/LAX y estación (bajo estudio) Alineación del proyecto Alineación compartida y estación Harbor Subdivision MANCHESER LA BREA FLORENCE CRENSHAW BL MANCHESER VAN NESS Metro quiere oír sobre su visión para mejorar el servicio de transporte a LAX, incluyendo como una conexión a LAX podría: > > Reducir congestión de tráfico y mejorar las opciones de transporte hacia y desde el aeropuerto Sujeto a cambios LACMA LAX SEPULVEDA Aviation/Century Hawthorne CENURY INGLEWOOD IMPERIAL > > Mejor servir los usuarios del aeropuerto y empleados locales > > Ofrecer a los viajeros con el nivel de transporte que ellos esperan cuando visitan una ciudad de clase mundial La Medida R, el aumento de impuestos de medio centavo que fue aprobada en el 2008, otorga $200 millones de financia para este proyecto.

8 COMMEN FORM Metro Green Line to LAX Project Which Alternative(s) Should We Move Forward With? Place a #1 on your 1st choice. Place a (check) on your 2nd choice (or on your 1st choice if you like that one a lot) ype of Connection Direct Light Rail ransit (LR) Branch (Metro goes to Airport) Do you have an alignment preference? 98 th Alignment (same platform transfer at Aviation/Century) Century Alignment (transfer between two platforms at Aviation/Century) Why? (Sample reasons: costs less, easier to build; more direct, saves time, more reliable, fewer transfers, less walking, easier to figure out, looks better, more impressive, fewer traffic impacts, allows for extensions ) Circulator with Automated People Mover (Airport (Circulator) goes to Metro) Do you have an alignment preference? 98 th Alignment (behind hotels) Century Alignment (in front of hotels) Circulator with Bus Rapid ransit (Airport (Circulator) goes to Metro via an elevated busway between Sepulveda and Aviation, then circulating on World Way loop) Do you have an alignment preference? 98 th Alignment (behind hotels) Century Alignment (in front of hotels) Intermediate LR & Circulator (Metro (LR) and Airport (Circulator) meet in the middle) Do you have an alignment preference? 98 th Alignment (same platform transfer at Aviation/Century) Century Alignment (transfer between two platforms at Aviation/Century) Modified LR runk through LAX (Metro goes through Airport) Airport Boulevard Modified LR runk with Circulator ransfer (Metro (LR) moves to meet Airport (Circulator) in the middle)

9 Within the erminal Area, How Should We Connect? Circle your first choice. On-Airport Alignment 2 - Station Aerial Rail (LR or APM) Runs along Center Way and curves around the heme Building Why? (Sample reasons: costs less, easier to build; more direct, saves time, more reliable, fewer transfers, less walking, easier to figure out, looks better, doesn t block the heme Building, more impressive, fewer traffic impacts, fewer impacts to garages) 2-Station unnel Rail (LR or APM) Runs straight underneath Center Way Generally at least $420M more than 2- Station Aerial Rail 3 - Station Aerial Rail Loop (LR or APM) Loops around the World Way loop with 3 stations Generally at least $440M more than 2- Station Aerial Rail 8-Station Bus Circulator Runs along the World Way loop with stops at each terminal. Different service patterns for more direct service are possible. OHER Draw It. Or Describe it For reference: All Rail (LR and/or APM) Alternatives exceed the $200M identified in Measure R An 8 station aerial rail loop will cost at least $800 M more than the 2-Station Aerial Alternative Other houghts I Have Name, Organization Address Check if you don t want to be added to the Project Mailing List Please return by one of the following methods: (1) Place in comment box, (2) Return to any staff member, (3) Send to Cory Zelmer, Los Angeles County Metropolitan ransportation Authority, One Gateway Plaza, , Los Angeles, CA or zelmerc@metro.net Find us also at and on twitter
