As a member of the STC4All Coalition, I support the Sepulveda Transit Corridor (STC) project as an opportunity to provide high-quality, high-speed, high-capacity, reliable rail transit connecting the San Fernando Valley and the Westside through the Sepulveda Pass.

I urge Metro to select a project alternative that includes the following:

A direct station on UCLA’s campus

A seamless connection to the Metro D/Purple Line at Westwood Village

Metro estimates that a STC project with an on-campus station at UCLA and seamless connection to the Metro D/Purple Line would offer faster travel times and higher ridership than Alternative 1, which does not include any of these critical needs. By Metro’s own estimates, a UCLA station is projected to be the busiest non-transfer stop in the entire Metro rail system with as many as 18,000 average weekday boardings.

I applaud the thoroughness of the DEIR and I urge Metro to expeditiously select the alternative that offers the greatest benefits to new riders and equity focused communities, thereby promoting transit equity and improving access and opportunity for all Angelenos. In addition, the alternatives that provide the highest projected ridership will provide massive environmental benefits to the region by taking tens of thousands of vehicles off local roads on a daily basis.

Please support a direct station on UCLA’s campus with a seamless connection to the Metro D/Purple line as the Locally Preferred Alternative and continue to move forward with bringing this important regional transit project to fruition.

Thank you,
