As Metro continues to prepare for the 2028 Olympics and Paralympics, we’ve published a new GIS map on our website that will show mobility improvements our region is making for the Games.
Think of this map — which is in its beta form — as a foundation for the work we’re doing. What you can see right now are the basics: what the Metro system will look like in 2028, the location of the Games venues, andprojects funded by the Reconnecting Communities and Neighborhoods grant awarded to Metro in March 2024.
The $139-million U.S. Department of Transportation grant will fund a bundle of improvements – new mobility hubs, first-last mile and bus priority projects — that aim to restore community connectivity by investing in high-quality multimodal transportation options.
As plans evolve and are finalized for various projects, we’ll add them to the map. We think the map is a great way to visualize what the Games transportation network will eventually look like — including transit projects, additional mobility hubs and bus shuttle routes to Games venues. See the Olympics and Paralympics page on our website for more info on these plans.
Sharing this information will also be helpful to local governments as they prepare to host events and inform residents how to easily get around during the Olympics and Paralympics.
From a technical standpoint, visitors to the map will be able to export the various layers to use for analysis. Nearly all of Metro’s work ahead of the Games will eventually be visualized on the map. Viewers can also provide feedback by clicking the “contact us” button at top right of the page.
Check out the map! With a little less than three years remaining until the Games begin, we’re excited to show everyone what’s in the works — and the mobility upgrades that our region will enjoy for decades to come.
