Supporting LA Fire Victims and Service Impacts

UPDATE, FEB. 26: Line 134 will resume service between Santa Monica and Trancas Canyon in Malibu on Friday, Feb. 28. Buses WILL NOT serve stops between Temescal Canyon and Rambla Vista due to damage from the Palisades Fire. Line 134 will serve all other stops, including the E Line’s Downtown Santa Monica Station, Malibu Pier,

Cross Creek Road, Civic Center Way and Malibu Canyon Road.

Riders should expect travel delays through the work zone as speeds are restricted to 25 miles per hour. Metro will review schedules once service is back underway and make any needed adjustments. 

Metro has modified the eligibility requirements for our reduced fare and discount fare programs, making it easier for wildfire victims to access essential resources, recover and rebuild. See: lbtm-dev.la-metro-web.net/fireresponse/ Here is a new interactive map of evacuation and resource centers near our bus and rail system. We’ll update the map as we get new information.

FEMA has opened two disaster recovery centers. Both are near our rail system if you need a ride. The centers are located at:

UCLA Research Park West 10850 West Pico Blvd Los Angeles, CA 90064 Hours: Daily 9 a.m. to 7 p.m.
