The allocation will settle $550 million in past claims over the long-awaited Automated People Mover train at Los Angeles International Airport.
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. Officials expect the train to be completed by Dec. 8, 2025, and in use by January 2026.
Chief Executive John Ackerman said he's confident the timeline will be met, but cautioned that those dates aren't concrete. 'We are building it on land that does not own, we are interacting with other agencies that we have no control over, and there are sometimes unforeseen problems on projects of this complexity,' Ackerman said. Construction on the 2.25-mile elevated train was expected to be finished in 2024 in preparation for the 2026 World Cup and 2028 Olympics.
