FTA approves final environmental review for LA Metro's Southeast Gateway Line, enabling federal funding for its $7.1bn first segment.

The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) has granted final approval to the environmental review documents for LA Metro's Southeast Gateway Line, enabling federal funding for the 14.5-mile first segment of the 19-mile, $7.1bn project. The line will extend the local transit system, serving residents historically underserved by rail options, and is expected to create 37,000-46,000 jobs and generate $5bn in annual economic activity. The project is seen as a "game changer" for transit-dependent communities in Southern California, improving access to high-quality transit.
