LA Metro has officially opened the A Line Extension, a 9.1-mile light rail section connecting Glendora to Pomona. The extension adds four new stations—Glendora, San Dimas, La Verne, and Pomona North—improving transit access for communities across the San Gabriel Valley.
The project aims to strengthen connectivity between residential neighbourhoods, educational institutions, recreational areas, and regional parks. It also provides a direct transfer point to Metrolink at Pomona Station, facilitating smoother travel between the Inland Empire and the Foothill Cities corridor.
The A Line Extension is expected to support local economic growth, reduce traffic congestion along major corridors, and provide environmentally friendly alternatives to car travel. The project also incorporates modern amenities at each station, including accessible platforms, bicycle parking, and safety features to enhance the passenger experience.
Service on the extended line is now fully operational, with trains running according to the regular A Line schedule.
The A Line is the world’s longest modern light rail line, now stretching 57.6 miles (92.7 km). It serves 48 stations, running east–west from Pomona to Pasadena and then north–south from Pasadena to Long Beach, providing extensive connectivity across Los Angeles County.
