Agency: Los Angeles International Airport
Soteria’s Role: System safety program planning and coordination, hazard analysis, certification, and operational readiness
Completion Date: Estimated 2025
Project Overview
The Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) Automated People Mover (APM) is a major component of the Landside Access Modernization Program (LAMP). Under the LAMP, the APM will provide fast, free and efficient transportation to and from the Central Terminal Area (CTA) for travelers, employees, and other users of LAX during all hours of the day and night. The project is intended to relieve congestion in the CTA and the surrounding streets, improve the travel experience, and provide a user-friendly connection to the LA Metro transit system.
The APM Project will provide an elevated guideway with an at-grade Maintenance and Storage Facility and six stations:
- Three stations in the Central Terminal Area (WCTA, CCTA, ECTA)
- Two stations outside of the airport (WITF and EITF)
- A third end-of-line station at the Consolidated Rent-A-Car Facility (ConRAC), designed and built by others
