The LAX Automated People Mover (APM) represents the Los Angeles World Airport’s (LAWA) first design-build-vehicle-finance-operate-maintain procurement and is the cornerstone of its broader Landside Access Modernization Program. The project includes 2.25 miles (3.6 km) of elevated guideway, six stations, pedestrian bridges, and an automated people mover system with the capacity to have nine trains traveling at the same time. The APM will have capacity for approximately 200 passengers with luggage per train with a total ride duration of 10 minutes end-to-end. It will have ridership capacity of 10,000 passengers per hour or 87.7 million per year and will have a frequency of two minutes during peak hours.

The APM is one component of the larger Landside Access Modernization Program (LAMP). LAMP consists of five major components: the APM, the Consolidated Rent-a-Car facility (ConRAC), Intermodal Transportation Facility-West, connection to Metro via the future Airport Metro Connector Station, and roadway improvements throughout the LAX area.
