Benefits of the K Line Northern Extension
The planned northern extension of the K (Crenshaw) light rail line from South Los Angeles to Hollywood is an exciting project that offers a range of benefits to both residents and visitors of Los Angeles.
The Most Connected Rail Line
The K Line extension will be an underground subway, connecting with multiple other lines to create a highly connected transportation network across the county. With the ability to carry up to 100,000 passengers each day, it will be one of the busiest light rail lines in the country.
Reduced Traffic Congestion and Emissions
By providing an efficient mode of transportation, the K Line extension is expected to reduce highway congestion and air pollution. With an estimated 65% of riders being low-income individuals who rely on public transit, the subway will offer a faster and more sustainable commuting option than driving.
Enhanced Accessibility to Job Centers and Attractions
The K Line extension will traverse densely populated neighborhoods in Los Angeles, connecting residents to key job centers and attractions such as The Grove, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. This will improve accessibility to employment opportunities and cultural destinations for a wide range of individuals.
