LAX People Mover on track for completion after board approves extra $400 million
LA TimesRendering of the LAX People Mover, a driverless train that is under construction. The commission that oversees Los Angeles International Airport voted Thursday to allocate $400 million more to settle legal claims over the long-awaited Automated People Mover train. Pending final sign-off by the Los Angeles City Council, the approval from the Los Angeles World Airports board of airport commissioners clears the way for the delayed project to finish construction. The new allocations will be pulled from reserve funds, officials said, and increase the Automated People Mover budget from $2.9 billion to $3.34 billion. Transit experts and airport officials expect the People Mover to significantly reduce traffic by offering an easy connection to the Metro and to a new consolidated rental car facility and parking lot.
