The LAX Automated People Mover is an automated people mover (APM) system around the Los Angeles International Airport area, currently under construction for Los Angeles World Airports. To be operated by LAX Integrated Express Solutions, the LAX APM will run 2.25 miles and will have six (6) brand new stations that connect the Los Angeles Metro Rail, a consolidated rental car center (CONRAC) and two intermodal transportation facilities (ITF) with the airport's central terminal area (CTA).

The LAX APM will run 2.25 miles and will have six (6) brand new stations. The APM will serve three (3) brand new stations in the Central Terminal area (CTA) each with footbridges with moving walkways to nearby terminals. The west station will connect to terminals 3, 4 and B(the Tom Bradley International Terminal), the center station will connect to terminals 1, 2, 5 and 6, and the east station will connect to terminals 7 and 8 with a future connection to terminals 0 and 1 planned.

Continuing to the east the line will travel over Sepulveda Boulevard and skirt along the airfield where provisions have been made for a station to be added if a terminal 9 is built in the future.

At that point, the line turns to the north, crossing Century Boulevard to reach the LAX West Intermodal Transportation Facility (ITF), a large parking structure with a kiss and ride area and access to the LAX City Bus Transit Center and nearby hotels.

From there, the route continues east along 96th Street, passing the line's maintenance yard and crossing over the Metro Rail tracks before arriving at the East ITF station which will offer access to the LAX/Metro Transit Center station when it opens in late-2024 along with parking.

From there, trains travel a short distance to the east and enter the LAX Consolidated Rent-A-Car Facility (CONRAC), a massive parking structure that will house all of the major rental car companies that operate at LAX.

The Los Angeles International Airport has long struggled with gridlocked traffic on World Way the main road that circles through the airport's central terminal area, that can often back up onto Century Boulevard or the Airport Tunnel, which connects the airport to I-405 and I-105 respectively.

Ahead of the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles, a second level was added to World Way, sending vehicles dropped off departing passengers to upper level and those picking up arriving passengers to the lower.

The relief was short-lived and by the 2000s the airport had ranked as one of the nation's most congested and hardest to navigate. That led airport managers to spend over $15 billion to modernize the airport, with an automated people mover (APM) being one of the major improvements. The project was given added urgency in 2017 when Los Angeles was awarded its bid to host the 2028 Summer Olympics.

After receiving three bids, Los Angeles World Airports announced it had chosen LAX Integrated Express Solutions (LINXS) to design, build, finance, operate and maintain the APM for a period of 25 years. LINXS is a joint venture, public-private partnership of ACS, Alstom, Balfour Beatty, Fluor and Hochtief with assistance from HDR and Flatiron West. The Los Angeles City Council approved the $4.9 billion project on April 11, 2018.

Beyond the construction of the APM guideway and stations, LAX has also planned several projects that will enable or connect to the APM.

New vertical cores will be built near each terminal, enabling vertical movement of passengers with elevators and escalators, as well as pedestrian bridges over World Way with moving walkways to connect terminals to stations. LAX is building cores between terminals 5 and 6, at terminals 7 and at terminal B(the Tom Bradley International Airport) at the cost of $490 million. New cores were also included in larger renovation projects at terminals 1, 2, 3 and 4.

The APM will also connect to the LAX West Intermodal Transportation Facility a $294.1 million, 4,300 space parking structure with a lot to pick up and drop off passengers and areas for shuttle buses and the LAX CONRAC Facility a massive parking structure that will house all of the major rental car companies that operate at LAX in one location adjacent to Interstate 405.

Coming Soon in December 8, 2025 until Grand Opening!
