Sepulveda station serves as a stop on the G Line within the Los Angeles Metro Busway network, taking its name from the nearby Sepulveda Boulevard. Distinct from other stations on the G Line, its platforms are positioned approximately one block west of the intersecting street. This station is located in the Van Nuys area, situated centrally in the San Fernando Valley.

Property development

Several initiatives have focused on underutilized parking areas and adjacent commercial properties bordered by Sepulveda Boulevard, the transit stop itself, Interstate 405, and the Victory Park neighborhood. In 2010, students from UCLA’s Urban Planning program conducted an extensive study proposing land use approaches for LA Metro. Following this, Metro established preliminary development guidelines for the location.

A significant project involved constructing an LA Fitness center on a site previously occupied by a Wickes Furniture outlet, which was demolished between December 2011 and February 2012. The LA Fitness facility commenced operations in March 2013, with utility enhancements by the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power finalized by October 2012.

During the 2028 Summer Olympics, this station is expected to accommodate spectators traveling to events held at the Sepulveda Dam.

Future Development

Initially targeted for completion in late 2019 or early 2020, Metro announced plans to separate the G Line from Sepulveda Boulevard via grade separation. As part of preparation, LADWP installed power poles to relocate existing lines underground ahead of bridge construction. However, these efforts were postponed due to funding limitations related to Measure M. Preliminary construction work on the grade separation viaduct connecting Woodman station and Sepulveda began in 2025.

Out of five proposed options for the Sepulveda Transit Corridor, four include a new transfer point facilitating connections to the E Line at Expo/Sepulveda station as well as to the East San Fernando Valley Light Rail Transit Project at Van Nuys station.
