LAX upgrades aim to enhance travel experience ahead of 2028 Olympics

Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) is undergoing significant upgrades in preparation for the 2028 Summer Olympics. Key projects include the Automated People Mover (APM) train system and a new Consolidated Rent-A-Car Facility (ConRAC), aimed at improving transit access and reducing traffic congestion. The APM will connect LAX terminals with rental car services and public transport, operating 24/7 and expected to serve 30 million passengers annually. The ConRAC will centralize rental car operations, eliminating thousands of shuttle trips and enhancing efficiency for travelers. These developments mark a major shift from the 1984 Olympics, as Los Angeles aims to manage increased visitor traffic effectively. The upgrades are designed to benefit both the Olympic event and the city's long-term transportation infrastructure.
