-- With fewer than 850 days until the Opening Ceremony of the XXXIV Olympiad on July 14, 2028, Los Angeles is bracing for a transportation challenge of historic proportions. Nina Steiner, founder and principal broker of TenantRepLA and Senior Advisor at Saxum West, has released what industry observers are calling the most detailed, data-backed guide available to help businesses and visitors understand how to get around Los Angeles during the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
The transportation resource published at TenantRepLA.com, arrives at a critical inflection point: city planners project 1.2 million peak-day spectator trips — the equivalent of hosting seven Super Bowls every single day for a month — across a metropolitan area already ranked among the most traffic-congested in the United States.
Why This Guide Matters: The Scale of the Challenge
The numbers underpinning the LA28 transportation challenge are staggering. According to data compiled from LA Metro, the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), and the LA28 organizing committee, Steiner's guide synthesizes the following:
- 1.2 million peak-day spectator trips projected by the City of Los Angeles — equivalent to seven Super Bowls simultaneously, every day, for a month
- 2,700 zero-emission buses to be deployed as part of Metro's Games Enhanced Transit Service (GETS) — nearly double Metro's existing fleet
- 49 Olympic venues across the region, all with security perimeters that will restrict private vehicle access and limit curb parking
- 60-day Games Route Network in operation, from Olympic Village opening through the end of Paralympic departures on August 30, 2028
- 10,000+ new transit personnel to be hired to support the expanded Games transportation network
- $94.3 million in federal mobility funding approved by Congress in February 2026 for station enhancements, mobility hubs, and transit improvements
- 5 Central Mobility Hubs (CMH) designated by Metro, with up to 10 additional locations under consideration
- 100+ miles of bus priority lanes expected to remain as a permanent post-Games legacy
- $139 million U.S. DOT Reconnecting Communities and Neighborhoods grant awarded to LA Metro to fund multimodal access improvements ahead of the Games
- A fleet of approximately 1,500 supplemental buses and 5,000 Honda vehicles reserved for the roughly 100,000 Olympic and Paralympic workers
A Transit-First Olympics: What Businesses and Visitors Must Know
LA28 officials have formally shifted from an ambitious 'car-free' Games concept to a 'transit-first' approach — a distinction with profound implications for Westside Los Angeles commercial tenants. Dedicated carpool and toll lanes will be converted to Olympic-only corridors during the Games, while security perimeters will close streets surrounding all 49 venues to private vehicles.
New rail expansions detailed in Steiner's guide include the D Line (Purple Line) Extension, whose first phase extends service from Wilshire/Western to Wilshire/La Cienega beginning May 8, 2026, with a second phase continuing to Century City by late 2026. The Crenshaw/LAX light rail line will also link to the airport's new automated people mover and the Inglewood Transit Connector. Three Bus Rapid Transit lines — from North Hollywood to Pasadena, Hollywood to South Central, and Northridge to North Hollywood — are slated to open before 2027.
For retail and office tenants in Santa Monica, Culver City, Playa Vista, Marina del Rey, Brentwood, and El Segundo — the core submarkets served by TenantRepLA — proximity to Metro rail stations and mobility hubs is set to become a significant lease negotiation factor in the months ahead.
Steiner's Perspective: Real Estate Strategy Meets Olympic Planning
“The 2028 Games are not just a two-week event,” said Nina Steiner, founder of TenantRepLA. “They represent a fundamental and permanent shift in how Los Angeles moves. Businesses that understand the transit infrastructure being built right now — and choose their office space accordingly — will have a competitive advantage long after the flame goes out. My job is to make sure my clients make those decisions with the best information available.”

Her services are provided at no cost to the tenant — commissions are landlord-paid — and she represents clients across Los Angeles, New York, London, and beyond.
