Community Support

 

The ITC is committed to the City of Inglewood and its residents as demonstrated by the robust environmental and economic benefits this Project will bring to the region.

Benefits include jobs creation, labor union apprenticeship training programs, a local hire requirement, a project labor agreement, and building a transit line that connects Inglewood to and from the greater Metro rail system.

The ITC takes cars off the road and will significantly reduce vehicle miles traveled leading to lower greenhouse gas emissions and a safer, more equitable approach to transit for those who live, work, and play in and around Inglewood’s sports and entertainment district.
