Why is LA ART a good proposal for a new transit option to Dodger Stadium?

Dodger Stadium is one of the region’s most visited venues; however, there are no permanent transit connections to the venue. Currently, the Dodger Stadium Express buses provide a connection between Union Station and Dodger Stadium on game days only. With LA ART’s ability to overcome grade and elevation issues, while providing safe, environmentally-friendly, and high-capacity transit connectivity, the LA ART plan proposes to link the Dodger Stadium property to the region’s rapidly growing regional transit system at Union Station.

The LA ART proposal reduces congestion in the neighborhoods surrounding Dodger Stadium and on SR-110. By connecting to Union Station, LA ART can tie the Stadium into the region’s public transit system, including the commuter rail operated by Metrolink as well as key connections operated by the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro), including the B (Red), L (Gold), and D (Purple) lines, as well as numerous bus lines. With these connections, the LA ART proposal can increase mobility options with beneficial contributions to the economy and the environment. Metro’s Regional Connector system with connections to Metro’s A (Blue) and E (Expo) lines, currently under construction, is forecasted to begin operations in 2022, further increasing ridership at Metro’s Union Station hub.
