The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (LACMTA) Board of Directors' approved a contract with Sepulveda Mobility Partners to study options for its Sepulveda Pass Corridor at the board's final meeting of 2017.  

 The approved $6.5-million contract will allow Sepulveda Mobility Partners to prepare a Sepulveda Transit Feasibility Study and Technical Compendium regarding transit options along the 11-mile north/south travel corridor.

“The 20-month study will analyze a variety of options for adding new rail transit service between the San Fernando Valley and Los Angeles International Airport (LAX),” according to the staff report. “The results of the study will support initiation of the environmental review process and further consideration of a Public Private Partnership delivery method.”

Board member Sheila Kuehl said she hopes cut-and-cover methods are not used to build the project because of disruptions to neighbors, LACMTA said.
