Location

Vermont/Athens station is a below-grade light rail station on the C Line of the Los Angeles Metro Rail system. It is situated in the median of Interstate 105 (Century Freeway) and named after Vermont Avenue and the Athens community where it is located. It opened as part of the Green Line on August 12, 1995.

The station was initially named Vermont Ave/I-105 but was later simplified to Vermont/Athens in 2012 with its location clarified.

This station is expected to be a stop along the Vermont Transit Corridor when that service commences.
