The East San Fernando Valley Light Rail Transit Project received a significant boost this week as the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) announced its intention to obligate nearly $1 billion in funds for the first phase of the project.
When completed, the project’s 9.2 mile route will connect the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) G Line (Orange) Station in Van Nuys with the Metrolink Station in Sylmar/San Fernando. A total of 14 new stations are planned.
