Jacobs to support clean transit expansion ahead of 2028 LA Olympic and Paralympic Games

Project to deliver advanced charging infrastructure for LA Metro’s 100% zero-emission fleet transition

DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jacobs (NYSE: J) has been selected by the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (LA Metro), working with Clark Construction Group, to design and build advanced charging infrastructure at two of LA Metro’s Bus Divisions in the cities of Carson and West Hollywood. The infrastructure will support Metro’s transition to a zero-emission bus fleet and will be completed in time for the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games hosted by Los Angeles.

Under the progressive design-build contract, Jacobs will lead the design to retrofit two of LA Metro’s busiest operating divisions with state-of-the-art overhead charging systems, upgraded electrical distribution and smart energy management tools to optimize charging schedules and reduce utility costs.

Jacobs Executive Vice President Eva Wood said: “This project will deliver one of the nation’s most advanced bus charging systems, supporting Metro’s 2,000-bus fleet transition and cutting emissions for and beyond the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games. By integrating smart charging technology and resilient infrastructure, we’re enabling cleaner air, lower energy costs and reliable service for millions of riders.”

The charging infrastructure will be designed to maintain bus operations 24 hours a day, seven days a week during construction, maintaining uninterrupted service for riders while preparing Los Angeles for major sporting events, including the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games. Jacobs is also delivering LA Metro’s 2028 Games Mobility Concept Plan and collaborating with agencies including LA Metro, Caltrans, Metrolink, the City of Los Angeles and other regional partners to align hundreds of projects that will support efficient, accessible travel during this global event.
