The Rail to Rail Active Transportation Corridor Project is a rail trail located in Los Angeles County, California, developed and managed by Los Angeles Metro.
Segment A traverses Inglewood and multiple neighborhoods within Los Angeles, including Hyde Park, Chesterfield Square, Harvard Park, Vermont-Slauson, South Park, Central-Alameda, as well as the unincorporated area of Florence-Graham. This segment links the K Line at Fairview Heights station with the J Line and A Line at their respective Slauson stations, terminating at the intersection of Santa Fe and Slauson avenues. The trail follows the Harbor Subdivision freight rail corridor along Slauson Avenue and Hyde Park Boulevard, featuring a 30-foot-wide linear park. Construction commenced on July 6, 2022, and the corridor officially opened on May 17, 2025, with a total investment of $166 million.
An extension project titled the Rail to River Active Transportation Corridor Project (Segment B) is planned to extend connectivity from Gateway Cities such as Huntington Park, Vernon, Maywood, and Bell to the bike trails along the Los Angeles River.
Route description
Starting at the K Line's Fairview Heights station situated on the border between Inglewood and Los Angeles, Segment A proceeds northward via West Boulevard before turning east onto 67th Street. It then intersects with the Harbor Subdivision right-of-way and veers northeast to follow this corridor toward Slauson Avenue. The trail runs parallel to Slauson Avenue heading east, crossing the J Line at its Slauson station, located within the Harbor Freeway (I-110) median. It also intersects the A Line at its own Slauson station before concluding at Santa Fe and Slauson Avenue near the boundary of Vernon and Huntington Park. Along its route, it passes through neighborhoods such as Hyde Park, Chesterfield Square, Harvard Park, Vermont-Slauson, South Park, Central-Alameda, and the unincorporated community of Florence-Graham.
Segment B is planned to start from the A Line's Slauson station and will curve southeast along the right-of-way of the La Habra Subdivision. This extension will pass through areas within the Gateway Cities, including Huntington Park, Vernon, Maywood, and Bell, ultimately connecting with existing bike paths alongside the Los Angeles River.
