COMMUTER OPTIONS
LAWA RIDESHARE: LAWA’s fleet of 72
vanpools is one of the largest airport run
programs in the nation. It is also
the most popular LAWA program, with
approximately 19% of LAWA employees
participating in the program. LAWA
Rideshare saves over 20,000 gallons of gas
per month, and reduces roughly five million
pounds of carbon emissions each 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 will provide a free, fast and efficient alternative for employees who work in the CTA. Inglewood is in the process of developing a pilot program to be implemented this calendar year.
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.
