An Automated People Mover (APM) is part of the Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) upgrade project, which is part of the Landside Access Modernization Program (LAMP).
The APM system will be an elevated 3.6 km line with six stations for passenger pick-up and drop-off, pedestrian bridges to airline terminals, parking garages, fixed facilities and a stop that connects to Los Angeles’ county-wide transit system. The people mover will be free, available 24 hours a day and have short wait times at each station.
“LAX is our gateway to the world — and by finally bringing rail to the airport, Angelenos and tourists will be able to connect to Los Angeles’ world-renowned neighborhoods and attractions without ever stepping foot in a car. LAMP will transform how L.A. thinks about travel,and get people in and out the airport faster and more conveniently,” ,” LA Mayor Eric Garcetti said.
The APM system and 2 intermodal transportation facilities (east and west) are part of the LAMP program, that is designed to relieve traffic congestion within the LAX Central Terminal Area and to connect via a station to the city’s light-rail system.
