Parsons Awarded $60 Million Contract To Design Claremont Extension Of Los Angeles’s Metro A Line Light Rail System

CHANTILLY, Va., Feb. 02, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Parsons Corporation (NYSE: PSN) announced today that it has been awarded a six-year, $60 million new contract by the Foothill Gold Line Construction Authority to complete design of phase 2B2 of the Foothill Gold Line project and provide design services during construction. As part of the longest linear light rail line in the world, phase 2B2 will complete the next segment of the Metro A Line light rail system, by adding a 2.3-mile extension from Pomona to Claremont.

“Parsons has led design teams for each phase of this project for the past 25 years, and we are excited to once again be selected to continue that legacy,” said Mark Fialkowski, president, Infrastructure North America for Parsons. “Extending light rail options opens access to neighborhoods that were once limited for commuters. The A Line expansion will improve commuter and visitor access between downtown Los Angeles and the eastern portion of Los Angeles County. It is rewarding for everyone who has been involved at Parsons to see the next segment move forward to design and come one step closer to fruition.”

This segment, along with previous design phases, will provide innovative and sustainable solutions that reduce traffic congestion, improve air quality, and help commuters reach their destinations safely and reliably.
