LA Metro is bringing light rail to the South Bay by extending the Metro C (Green) Line from the Redondo Beach (Marine) Station to the Mary K. Giordano Regional Transit Center.
As part of the process, Metro has prepared a Draft Environmental Impact Report (EIR) to study the options. The Torrance City Council supports the plan to keep the light rail line on Metro's Right-of-Way with Elevated/At-Grade Option and off of Hawthorne Blvd.

UPDATE - 4/18/2024
At the LA Metro Executive Management Committee Meeting on April 18, 2024, Board Member (and County Supervisor) Holly Mitchell made a motion to move the vote to select a Locally Preferred Alternative (LPA) for the C-Line Extension to the Board Meeting on May 23, 2024 at 10am. This would allow more time for her communities to learn about the staff recommendation using the 170th/182nd Grade-Separated Light Rail Transit Alternative (ROW), also referred to as the Hybrid Alternative.
