The project was planned to break ground in 2024 and begin operations in late 2027, ahead of the 2028 Summer Olympics that will use some of the venues.

The project was managed by the Inglewood Transit Connector Joint Powers Authority (ITCJPA), a partnership between the City of Inglewood and the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro), representing the County of Los Angeles.

[5] As of 2021, the City has secured approximately $328.9 million in committed funding for the implementation of the Project out of the $2 billion dollars needed.

After the funding denial and amid opposition by Waters, Kroenke and Ballmer, Inglewood mayor James Butts conceded that the project was likely dead.

With funds coming from the federal government, the State of California and from Los Angeles County, it was not enough to cover the cost.

The South Bay Cities Council of Government denied the project an additional $493 million in October 2024 which was needed to build the line.
