Current Mobility Initiatives
COMMUTER OPTIONS
LAWA RIDESHARE: LAWA encourages sustainable commuting via Transit, Carpool, Vanpool and Bike, offering vanpools coming from all over Southern California, a Transit subsidy of up to $110 a month and more. LAWA Rideshare saves almost 3.5 million vehicle miles travelled through its programs.
LAX TMO: commuteLAX, the LAX Transportation Management Organization, helps 40,000* LAX employees find sustainable transportation options to help ease their commute to work. By providing a Transit Pass to LAX Employees for just $20 a month, commuteLAX saves over 20,000 employee drive-alone trips a year.
INGLEWOOD-LAX TDM PROGRAM: Inglewood and LAWA have partnered to develop a Transportation Demand Management (TDM) program to provide efficient, high occupancy vehicle access to LAX for employees who live in the City of Inglewood. Over 3,000 LAX employees live in the City of Inglewood, and this TDM program provides a free, fast and efficient alternative for employees who work in the CTA.
METRO MICRO-TRANSIT: Micro is Metro’s on-demand rideshare service, offering trips within several zones in LA County, including LAX/Inglewood Service Zone. The service is meant to be a fast, safe, and convenient option for quick trips without having to transfer and uses small vehicles (seating up to 10 customers).
CLEAN FLEET PROGRAM
LAWA operates the nation’s largest airport alternative-fuel fleet. Alternative fuel vehicles make up over 60% of LAX’s fleet; 15% of the fleet is now electric. LAWA has approved the purchase of 20 new electric airfield buses for LAX.
PASSENGER TRAVEL
LAX-IT: In October 2019, LAWA implemented LAXit as an interim ground access solution to replace lost terminal curb use due to construction until LAMP improvements are open in 2023. The lot diverts approximately 15% of CTA traffic during peak hours, and an average of 15,000 vehicles a day out of the CTA – exceeding targets set for the program’s initial operations.
LAX FLYAWAY: The LAX FlyAway bus served more than 1.9 million passengers last year, resulting in reduction of 3,674 metric tons of carbon emissions. LAWA is actively working on creative solutions to enhance the FlyAway service. In July 2019, the Mayor’s Office of Economic Development partnered with LAWA to host a design workshop to develop creative solutions to optimize and expand FlyAway offerings. This resulted in 66 ideas for modernizing the FlyAway, 15 of which were prioritized by the group for LAWA’s consideration in upcoming procurement efforts.
EV CHARGING: There are more than 150 electric vehicle chargers installed at LAX.
