About

The Roadways, Utilities and Enabling (RUE) project is a set of 16 smaller yet high-priority projects necessary to support the LAX Landside Access Modernization Program (LAMP), which includes the Automated People Mover (APM) train system, the LAX Consolidated Rent-A-Car (ConRAC) facility, LAX Economy Parking and the Airport Connector APM station.

The five-year $334.9 million RUE contract was approved in September 2020. The general types of projects to be addressed by RUE include but are not limited to:

• Utility Relocations
• Roadway, Parking and Street Improvements
• Tenant Facility Replacements
• Demolition
• Engineering Assessments and Investigations
• Environmental Mitigation

As of September 2024, all utility work in LAX's Central Terminal Area substantially completed, with current efforts focusing on a new extension of 98th Street to improve access to both the ConRAC Facility as well as the Automated People Mover and Airport Metro Connection station.
