The APM will have nine trains with four cars – each of which will carry up to 50 passengers with luggage. To boost green credentials, the vehicles generate a portion of their own power through regenerative breaking, and they are 98% recyclable.Īs a further nod to California’s green agenda, the command centre / maintenance facility generates half its power from solar energy and it is designed to be LEED Gold Certified, offsetting the carbon equivalent of 12 million vehicle miles. The first of the 44, fully-electric cars (see left) will be delivered in late 2020. Most of the construction work will be completed long before 2023, allowing for several months of testing.Ĭonstruction of the guideway – the elevated track along which the APM will run – starts late summer next year (2019) and, building work will start on the six stations towards the end of 2019.

Pre-construction work – utility relocation, geotechnical investigation and surveying – has already started on the project that reached financial close on 8 June (2018) and full operations are slated for early 2023. The project has an all-in, design/build capex of a shade more than $2 billion and the project is designed to reduce travel times and congestion, while hugely enhancing user experience.

The APM will provide a free service to transport 30 million passengers per year between the central terminal area of LAX and off-airport intermodal transport facilities and a consolidated rental car service – currently under tender as a P3 with four bidders in place: Consolidated Rent-A-Car (ConRAC). This is the first time that a DBFOM PPP model has been used for a transport system of this nature at a US airport, making Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) a P3 pathfinder with a challenging bank/bond hybrid model. As a mass-transit solution, California’s $2.5 billion Los Angeles Automated People Mover (APM) breaks new ground for financing in the US, delivering a 2.25 mile elevated electric train system, connecting parking facilities to the international airport.
