Agency: Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority
Soteria’s Role: System Safety & Security Review and Management & Certification Plans
Completion Date: Scheduled for 2026
Project Overview
The K Line Extension to Torrance is a 4.5-mile light rail extension that connects to the existing Redondo Beach (Marine) Station and travels southeast through the cities of Lawndale, Redondo Beach, and Torrance. This extension is a critical piece of the regional rail network, offering opportunities for the County to access the jobs, schools, healthcare, and other needs in the South Bay. Additionally, it provides access for those in the South Bay to connect to the greater Los Angeles region.
The Project will connect travelers to the rail network and provide easy transfers to two new regional bus centers immediately adjacent to the proposed rail stations: the Redondo Beach Transit Center and the Mary K. Giordano Regional Transit Center (Torrance Transit Center), which opened in Spring and Summer of 2023. These bus centers include parking, drop-off, bike parking, and bus connections to connect rail passengers further into the South Bay and Peninsula. The K Line Extension will also provide rapid rail service north to LAX, Inglewood, and Central Los Angeles.
