Link Union Station (Link US)

Los Angeles Union Station (LAUS) is Southern California’s primary transportation hub, connecting multiple counties with a combined population exceeding 20 million people.

Overview

Location: Central Los Angeles

Phase: Design & Engineering

Type: Better Transit

Forecasted Opening: To be determined

As envisioned, Metro’s plan for better transit includes improvements at Union Station to address existing capacity constraints, improve transit connectivity and prepare for future high-speed rail service.

The Link Union Station (US) Project proposes new run-through tracks on an elevated rail yard to improve operational flexibility, expand Los Angeles Union Station (LAUS) capacity, and accommodate future high-speed rail service. The Project also proposes an expanded passageway.

Metro is coordinating closely on the Link US Project with the California High-Speed Rail Authority (CHSRA), the California State Transportation Agency (CalSTA), the Southern California Regional Rail Authority (SCRRA), Amtrak, Los Angeles – San Diego – San Luis Obispo (LOSSAN) Rail Corridor Agency, and the California Department of Transportation.

Status

The Link US Draft Environmental Impact Statement/Supplemental Environmental Impact Report (EIS/SEIR) was available for public review and comment from June 21 through August 9, 2024.

To review the Draft EIS/SEIR, including the Notice of Availability, Main Document, and Technical Appendices, visit https://www.linkunionstation.com/. You can also explore the Virtual Open House, which was live for comment submission during the 2024 comment period.

Currently, Metro is conducting preliminary field work to allow for future project delivery. To learn more, see Work Notices.

On March 26, 2025, Metro’s Link Union Station team hosted a Community Meeting and Open House for Vernon property owners, businesses and residents to learn more about the Project’s environmental process, including the Malabar Yard railroad improvements. The meeting included a brief presentation, followed by an open house format where participants viewed display boards and talked directly with Link US team members.
