The City of Los Angeles Department of Transportation received a $1.36M Formula Grant from the Federal Transit Administration under the Federal Transit Formula Grants program (CFDA 20.507) to develop Integrated Mobility Hubs at ten major Metro Rail transit stations throughout Los Angeles. Awarded on September 4, 2025, with completion targeted for May 20, 2029, the funding comprises $715,578 in FY 2020 Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ) transfers and $492,422 in FY 2023 CMAQ allocations. The project delivers first-last-mile connectivity enhancements designed to facilitate seamless transit access and reduce reliance on single-occupancy vehicles.

The primary deliverables include: (1) procurement, construction, and installation of ten modular mobility hubs at designated downtown Los Angeles and Hollywood Metro stations, incorporating bike parking and digital portal kiosks with minimal site disruption; (2) marketing and public outreach to promote hub utilization among current and potential transit riders; (3) development and implementation of a unified digital platform integrating trip planning, reservations, complaints, and payment processing compatible with regional transit systems and interoperable with carshare, bikeshare, micro-mobility, and micro-transit services; and (4) comprehensive project administration. The initiative benefits transit riders, workers, residents, and visitors across the greater Los Angeles area by providing integrated access to multiple transportation modes at major transit stations.

Activities

1) procurement construction and installation of mobility hubs in the 10 primary hub locations within the following metro rail stations:- downtown LOS angeles: pershing square pico grand 7TH street/metro center civic center/grand park - hollywood: vermont/santa monica vermont/sunset hollywood/vine hollywood/highland hollywood/western construction would be limited to minor trenching and no more than two feet if needed. We will utilize modular structures to develop mobility hubs for elements such as bike parking and hub portal kiosks.2) marketing public outreach that will promote the primary mobility hubs to current transit riders and to potential users. 3) mobility hubs website and portal-develop and implement a universal digitally integrated trip planning reservations complaint and payment system that is compatible with regional transit access/payment and interoperable with emerging on demand transportation modes (carshare bike share secure bicycle parking micro transit etc.) which typically require separate accounts and rely on cloud technologies to collect payment.4) project administration and management

Expected outcomes

These hubs will enable access to a variety of transportation options including bikeshare carshare and micro-mobility to support seamless trips to and from work school and other destinations from major transit stations.

Intended beneficiaries

The project will benefit transit riders in the greater LOS angeles area including visitors workers and residents. The mobility hub locations were selected as a result of their high residential density significant low-income population density high employment activity and high overall transit dependent populations.
