Expo/Vermont station

Expo/Vermont station is an at-grade light rail station on the E Line of the Los Angeles Metro Rail system. The station is located in the center median of Exposition Boulevard at its intersection with Vermont Avenue, after which the station is named, near the Exposition Park and West Adams neighborhoods of Los Angeles.

The station is located close to the University of Southern California (USC), and several major museums and sporting venues inside Exposition Park. During the 2028 Summer Olympics, the station will serve spectators traveling to and from the temporary swimming venue to be built inside Dedeaux Field, a baseball stadium on the USC campus.

The station will be a transfer point to the Vermont Transit Corridor, a Los Angeles Metro Busway line scheduled to open just before the 2028 Summer Olympics.

Station artwork
The station's art, commissioned by the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority, was created by artist Jessica Polzin McCoy. Entitled Neighborhood Portrait: Reconstructed, the 24-panel installation includes photographs that take the viewer inside of the homes of West Adams residents. After constructing collages from her photos, McCoy then created intricate watercolor paintings of each collage. Artisans at Montreal-based Mosaika Art & Design worked closely with the artist to translate her watercolors into hand-glazed ceramic mosaic panels.
