UCLA/Westwood Zero Emission Transit Service Expansion—Bus Hub

The UCLA/Westwood Zero Emission Transit Service Expansion—Bus Hub project involves the construction of an intermodal transit hub within UCLA's Parking Lot 36, located at 11020 Kinross Avenue in Los Angeles, California. Situated adjacent to the new Metro D Line Westwood/UCLA Station, the hub is designed to facilitate first/last mile connectivity by integrating UCLA's BruinBus service with various regional transit agencies. The infrastructure improvements include the installation of new curbs, bus shelters, screens, benches, signage, and a pedestrian paseo to ensure safe passage between the bus stops and the Metro station. To support sustainable transit, the facility will also provide static inductive charging capabilities for electric buses. During peak demand periods, the hub is engineered to accommodate approximately 129 bus trips across seven dedicated bus bays. Managed by the University of California, Los Angeles, the project has been granted a Notice of Exemption under CEQA Guidelines Sections 15303 and 15311, as the construction scope is considered minor and compatible with existing urban transit operations. While the specific contract value and financial schedules are not provided in the current documentation, the project is categorized under NAICS code 237990. Ashley Rogers, the Director of Environmental Planning, serves as the primary point of contact for the lead agency. The project represents a strategic expansion of zero-emission transit services aimed at enhancing regional mobility and campus connectivity.
