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.
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 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.
