Easier, Faster, More Efficient Future of LAX

The Automated People Mover (APM) is an electric train system on a 2.25-mile elevated guideway with six stations inside the Central Terminal Area (CTA) and three outside the CTA.

The APM trains, elevators, escalators, and moving sidewalks provide quick access to the terminals and stations. Passengers will be able to view real-time flight information and public art in a variety of media and will see the iconic Theme Building from a brand new perspective as the train enters the CTA.

 The project will create more than 2,000 construction jobs, with 30% of those opportunities reserved for Los Angeles residents and highly impacted communities near LAX. Sixty percent of careers during the 25-year Operations and Maintenance phase are designated for local workers.

In addition to reducing traffic, the APM will leverage cutting-edge sustainability practices to minimize the airport area’s carbon footprint. The system’s fleet will consist of 44 fully electric cars, 98% recyclable, and generate a portion of their power through regenerative braking while providing an industry-leading ride quality for users.
