The Link Union Station (US) Project proposes new run-through tracks on an elevated rail yard to improve operational flexibility, expand Los Angeles Union Station (LAUS) capacity, and accommodate future high-speed rail service. The Project also proposes an expanded passageway.

LA Metro certified the Link US Final SEIR on October 23, 2025 during the Metro Board General Meeting. The Metro Board also approved a motion committing Metro to continue to work towards resolution of priority outstanding issues with the City of Vernon and the BNSF Railroad. The Metro Board’s October 23, 2025 agenda, supporting materials, Board Report and motion can be found here.
Following this, the California High Speed Rail Authority is expected to consider issuing a Final EIS or a Combined Final EIS/Record of Decision.
