The Lincoln Boulevard Transit Corridor is a proposed 10-mile (16 km)

History
The transit corridor seeks to provide a one seat ride between LAX/Metro Transit Center station and Downtown Santa Monica station via a bus rapid transit or light rail line along Lincoln Boulevard. The BRT line will be converted to LRT in the future if ridership outgrows the BRT service capacity, but there is currently no funding for an LRT conversion. The corridor will service LAX, Playa Del Rey, Westchester, Venice and Santa Monica, all beach communities along Santa Monica Bay. This project may be a collaboration between Metro and Big Blue Bus as this is a Metro planned project, however BBB already runs a local and Rapid service (Line 3) via Lincoln Boulevard.
