The City of Los Angeles Department of Transportation (LADOT) proposes to implement modern streetcar circulator service in a 3.8-mile corridor within downtown Los Angeles, connecting the Civic Center and the historic core with the Los Angeles sports and entertainment district. LADOT indicates the project would provide short-trip transit service and increased connectivity between existing activity centers and neighborhoods slated for growth, where transit demand is lacking or disconnected today. The project includes 24 station stops, eight new light rail vehicles, and five traction power substations. LADOT expects to seek $74.99 million from the Small Starts program.
