Parsons Celebrates the Completion of 9.1-Mile Light Rail Segment
June 12 2025 - 6:25AM
Parsons Corporation (NYSE: PSN) celebrated two station dedications
on the new Foothill Gold Line light rail segment between Glendora
and Pomona in Southern California’s San Gabriel Valley. The
9.1-mile segment achieved substantial completion in January, and
the project has been turned over to the Los Angeles County
Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) for final testing,
training, and preparation for passenger service, which is
anticipated to begin later this year. Once operational, the new
extension will be renamed, as it will be part of the 48.5-mile
Metro A Line system - the longest light rail line in the country,
that will carry passengers between Long Beach and Pomona.
This extension of the Metro A Line is vital to the region’s
vision for a more connected and sustainable transportation network.
Once operational, it will offer a fast, efficient, and eco-friendly
alternative to driving, significantly improving mobility for
commuters in the San Gabriel Valley. Parsons, a leader in rail and
transit, led the design of this critical segment while also
contributing to construction management, delivering a
state-of-the-art solution that meets the growing demand for transit
in the area.
“We are proud of this transformative project and contributing to
the region’s future,” said Mark Fialkowski, president of
Infrastructure North America for Parsons. “This milestone reflects
the dedication of our team, the trust of our partners at the
Foothill Gold Line Construction Authority and Metro, and our
commitment to delivering solutions that benefit the community.”
With deep expertise in rail and transit, Parsons has been
instrumental in advancing this project, which is part of a broader
effort to bring next-generation transportation solutions to the Los
Angeles metropolitan area. The firm’s history of successful transit
projects enabled the delivery of this light rail extension on time
and within budget, reinforcing Parsons' performance reputation.
Completing this segment helps expand transit access for
communities across Los Angeles County. Once operational, the light
rail will connect passengers to key destinations including downtown
Los Angeles. The light rail extension aligns with both local and
regional goals for reducing traffic congestion and minimizing
environmental impacts. Beyond the transportation benefits, this
project will provide a substantial economic boost to the region,
improving access to jobs, education, and entertainment
opportunities for thousands of residents.
