This $3,573,279,911 federal Project Grant award, provided by the U.S. Department of Transportation's Federal Transit Administration (FTA) under the Federal Transit Capital Investment Grants program (CFDA 20.500), will fund the East San Fernando Valley Light Rail Transit Project in California. The project aims to improve mobility, connectivity, and sustainability in the transit-dependent project area, which suffers from poor air quality and traffic congestion. The 6.7-mile light rail system will include 11 stations, 11 traction power substations, an overhead contact system, 34 vehicles, and a maintenance and storage facility. Key expected outcomes include a 1,084,556 metric ton reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, reduced traffic, and increased access to the community. The grant was awarded to the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) on September 6, 2024, with a planned completion date of December 31, 2033. Metro will directly implement the project and does not intend to use subrecipients.
