The Rail to Rail Active Transportation Corridor Project; before known as Rail to River is a construction project building a rail trail in Los Angeles County, California, United States. It is being constructed by the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro).

The 5.5-mile (8.9 km) route, known as Segment A, runs through the city of Inglewood, the city of Los Angeles neighborhoods of Hyde Park, Chesterfield Square, Harvard Park, Vermont-Slauson, South Park and Central-Alameda, and unincorporated Florence-Graham. The route will begin at the K Line's Fairview Heights station, connecting it with the J Line's Slauson station and the A Line's Slauson station before terminating at the intersection of Santa Fe and Slauson Avenues. The path uses the Harbor Subdivision freight-train right-of-way along Slauson Avenue and Hyde Park Boulevard. The planned "active transportation corridor" will be a 30-foot (9.1 m)-wide linear park. The budget for the project is $140 million. The projected completion date for the project is sometime in late 2024.

A potential future extension project, the Rail to River Active Transportation Corridor Project, known as Segment B, would run through some combination of Gateway Cities Huntington Park, Vernon, Maywood and Bell to reach the Los Angeles River bike trails.

Route description

Segment A will begin at the K Line's Fairview Heights station on the border of Inglewood and the city of Los Angeles. It will then briefly head north along West Boulevard before turning east along 67th Street. Running east, the path will meet the Harbor Subdivision right-of-way and turn northeast to run along it to Slauson Avenue. At Slauson Avenue, the path will curve to the northern side of Slauson Avenue and parallel it traveling east, intersecting with the J Line at its Slauson station in the median of the Harbor Freeway (I-110) and the A Line at its Slauson station, before terminating at the intersection of Santa Fe and Slauson Avenues on the border of Vernon and Huntington Park. Along the way, the path will run through the neighborhoods of Hyde Park, Chesterfield Square, Harvard Park, Vermont-Slauson, South Park and Central-Alameda, and unincorporated Florence-Graham.

Segment B will begin at the A Line's Slauson station and curve southeast to follow the La Habra Subdivision right-of-way in between Randolph Street and would run through some combination of Gateway Cities Huntington Park, Vernon, Maywood and Bell to reach the Los Angeles River bike trails.
