LACMTA Regional Connector

In preparing for the 2022 Super Bowl and the 2028 Summer Olympics, the City of Los Angeles Metro Transit Authority is in the process of “fast-tracking” multiple mass transit projects. The first of these projects is the Regional Connector Transit Corridor, a light rail tunnel through Downtown Los Angeles to connect the Blue and Expo Lines to the current Gold Line and Union Station. This project represents LACMTA’s first installation of a rigid catenary system (OCR) into their light rail network. MAC Products was involved in the design and fabrication of the OCR. Construction is scheduled to start in 2019.
