Future plans
There have been persistent proposals, especially due to the original plans for the Century Freeway to connect to the 5, for a eastward extension of the Los Angeles Metro Rail's C Line from its current eastern terminus at Norwalk station to reach Norwalk/Santa Fe Springs station. This project carries a proposed cost of $321 million for an aerial bridge, and a $360 million cost for an underground tunnel. Since an initial Environmental Impact Review (EIR) in 1993, there has been no solid progress for this proposal. The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) 2009 Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) lists funding priorities to build through year 2040 – the C Line east extension is not a funded project in the Metro's 2009 LRTP nor Measure R and is instead in the Tier 1 Strategic Unfunded Plan. Within Measure M it is planned to have service operational sometime around 2052.
The California High-Speed Rail Authority is considering the station as a possible stop on the first phase of the California High-Speed Rail project.
