Look Ahead
The Expo Line moves ahead with final design and construction by the Exposition Metro Line Construction Authority (Expo). Metro provides funding for the Expo Line, while Expo assumes ownership of the Expo Line while it is under final design and construction. The Mid-City segment of the line will be completed in 2010. Metro will assume operations of the line then.
Part of Metro Rail Network
When the line opens in 2010, the Expo Line will join the Metro Rail/Fixed Guideway network of 87.6 miles of route service in Los Angeles County. The Expo Line will be the first Metro Rail line to connect Downtown Los Angeles with the dynamic Westside at Culver City. Metro Rail customers can also directly connect with the Metro Purple and Metro Red Line in Downtown Los Angeles at 7th Street/Metro Center.
