Getting to USC Campus

Public Transportation:

• Metro E Line (Expo): The Metro E Line provides a direct connection between downtown and USC. Trains depart every 15 minutes from the 7th Street / Metro Center Station and arrive at the Expo Park / USC Station in approximately 10 minutes. A one-way fare is $2.

• Bus Services: Several bus routes serve the USC area. For instance, LA DOT operates a bus from Flower St & 7th St to Figueroa St & USC McCarthy Way every 20 minutes, with a journey time of about 16 minutes. Metro Los Angeles also services this route every 30 minutes.

Driving (or Uber/Lyft): If you prefer to drive or take an Uber/Lyft, USC is located approximately 3 miles south of downtown Los Angeles. The drive typically takes around 6 minutes, depending on traffic conditions.

From LAX to USC: USC is about a 30-40 minute drive from LAX, depending on traffic. If public transportation is needed, taking the FlyAway Bus can be helpful:

FlyAway Bus to Union Station:

• • Arrives at Patsaouras Transit Plaza behind Union Station.

USC Shuttle from Union Station:

• • Departures from Bay 6 at the transit plaza.

  • Direct, non-stop shuttles to USC Main Campus (UPC) are free for USC passengers.

  • Some shuttles first stop at the Health Sciences Campus (HSC)—to save time, ensure you board a direct shuttle to UPC.
