Performance Utility Supply has been hard at work delivering temp power solutions to our friends over at Morrow Meadows. The electrical contractor is currently busy working on one of the major components to the LAX landside access modernization program, the Consolidated Rent-A-Car facility. Also known as ConRAC, The facility, whose groundbreaking ceremony was led by Mayor Eric Garcetti, will centralize rental car operations currently spread across the surrounding area of LAX.

Since 2009, Mayor Garcetti has led a $14 Billion transformation for LAX creating thousands of jobs in the process. “We are building a world-class airport that travelers need and deserve,” said Garcetti. “Our city is doing so much more than building a parking structure — we are making an investment that will improve the traveling experience, reduce congestion in surrounding neighborhoods, and create middle-class careers for years to come.” https://www.lamayor.org/mayor-garcetti-and-los-angeles-world-airports-break-ground-historic-consolidated-rental-car-facility

The ConRAC facility will provide direct connection to LAX’s Automated People Mover (APM) train system. With this direct connection, rental car shuttles will no longer be needed to shuttle customers to and from the Central Terminal Area (CTA), which will result in the elimination of more than 3,200 daily rental car shuttle trips on the surrounding streets and into and out of the CTA.

It also features a Quick Turn Around (QTA) area, allowing for the light maintenance of vehicles such as car washing, oil changes and tire rotation. This QTA facility will help alleviate traffic congestion by keeping operations within the footprint of the facility and not out on the city streets. https://www.lawa.org/en/connectinglax/consolidated-rent-a-car-facility

We are so grateful that we get to play a small part in the process of historical development for the great City of Angels. It takes a community of contractors and businesses like ours to make progress happen. The new facility is scheduled to open in 2023 and we can’t wait to see how this new change to the landscape of LAX changes the infrastructure and outlying communities. We know it will be for the better.
