Ride the Free Bus to Metro Board Meeting (December 2025)

*Update* The item is not on the agenda for October, so we are now tentatively planning for the Thursday, December 4th Board Meeting. See our Engagement Toolkit with instructions to speak at upcoming meetings.

Metro has released the Final Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the C Line Extension to Torrance Project, which would extend the existing light rail line from Redondo Beach to Torrance and operate as a southern extension of the K Line.

The Final EIR details the Hybrid Alternative, approved by the Metro Board in May 2024 as the Locally Preferred Alternative (LPA), along with design refinements, responses to public comments, and updates to the Draft EIR. Later this Fall, the Metro Board will consider certifying the Final EIR and approving the project, to improve regional connectivity and provide more transit options in the South Bay.

Torrance Transit is offering FREE bus rides from Torrance Transit Center to LA Metro HQ at Union Station. Let's fill these buses to support the C (K) Line Extension to Torrance project and the Hybrid LPA. Join community members, organizations, and businesses around the South Bay to ask the Metro Board to certify and approve this historic and transformational project. We support the promise of Measure M to bring high-quality light rail further into the South Bay.

The date for the LA Metro Board Meeting and certification of the Final EIR is tentative. IMPORTANT: The item is not on the agenda for October, so we are now tentatively planning for the Thursday, December 4th Board Meeting. Save your seat on the bus to advocate for the project. Arrive at 7:15 AM, buses will depart Torrance Transit Center at 7:30 AM. We will provide reminders and details as the date approaches. *Date is tentative subject to Metro Board schedule.

You can sign up to receive notifications even if you are unsure you can attend or if you will be attending via alternate transportation (Torrance 4X, Metro J Line, other Metro bus and light rail reach Union Station).
