3.8 Circulation<br />

Para Transit<br />

The <strong>Inglewood</strong> Senior Center also provides a van service that is available to residents <strong>of</strong><br />

the areas <strong>of</strong> <strong>Inglewood</strong>, Hawthorne and Lennox. This service is a demand-based service<br />

with a one-way fare cost <strong>of</strong> $0.50 or a monthly pass <strong>of</strong> $5.00.<br />

The <strong>City</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Inglewood</strong> also maintains a service directory for organizations and agencies<br />

that provide specialized transportation for seniors and persons with disabilities. This<br />

directory currently lists approximately 20 public transit operators and social service<br />

transportation providers that have been registered by the <strong>City</strong> to provide access to<br />

seniors, disabled persons and persons <strong>of</strong> limited means.<br />

Light Rail Transit<br />

Located in the median <strong>of</strong> the Glenn Anderson (I-105) Freeway, the Metro Green Line is<br />

the closest rail transit facility to the <strong>City</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Inglewood</strong>. This system carries approximately<br />

36,000 riders on an average weekday and had approximately 9.65 million boardings in<br />

2005. The Crenshaw Boulevard/I-105 Station is the nearest station, located immediately<br />

south <strong>of</strong> the I-105 Freeway, just east <strong>of</strong> Crenshaw Boulevard. This station provides free<br />

daily parking for up to 500 vehicles and is the connecting point for several Metro bus<br />

routes throughout the <strong>City</strong>.<br />

Park & Ride Facilities<br />

A Park & Ride lot is a group <strong>of</strong> parking spaces designated specifically for the purpose <strong>of</strong><br />

giving people a place to park so they can meet up with their carpool, vanpool or buspool<br />

partners. Some Park & Ride lots are also served by transit. Amenities range from parking<br />

spaces only to security service, bicycle lockers, telephones, restrooms and even child care<br />

centers. A Park & Ride lot can be as big as hundreds <strong>of</strong> parking spaces with all the perks<br />

or as small as a designated area at a church or shopping center parking lot.<br />

Currently, there are no Park & Ride facilities located within the <strong>City</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Inglewood</strong>. The<br />

closest facilities are located at the Crenshaw/I-105 Metro Green Line Station and the<br />

Hawthorne/I-105 Metro Green Line Station, which contain 500 and 600 parking spaces,<br />

respectively. Both facilities are free <strong>of</strong> charge and open for public use 24 hours a day,<br />

seven days a week. The following information contains descriptions <strong>of</strong> each facility,<br />

operating agency and transit connections.<br />
