The Inglewood Transit Connector Project is a proposed 1.6-mile (2.6 km) fully elevated, automated people mover system in Inglewood, California, that will connect the Downtown Inglewood station on the K Line of the Los Angeles Metro Rail system to the major sports and entertainment venues in the city: Kia Forum, SoFi Stadium, Hollywood Park Casino, and the Intuit Dome. The project was planned to break ground in 2024 and begin operations in late 2027, ahead of the 2028 Summer Olympics that will use some of the venues. However, the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) recently reported that the transit connector will not open for revenue service until early 2030.[1]
The project is being managed by the Inglewood Transit Connector Joint Powers Authority (ITCJPA).[2] The JPA is a partnership between the City of Inglewood and the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro), representing the County of Los Angeles.
