The Rail to Rail Active Transportation Corridor Project is a construction project building a rail trail in Los Angeles County, California, United States. It is being constructed by the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro).

The {{convert|5.5|mile|adj=on}} route, known as Segment A, runs through the city of Inglewood, the city of Los Angeles neighborhoods of Hyde Park, Chesterfield Square, Harvard Park, Vermont-Slauson, South Park and Central-Alameda, and unincorporated Florence-Graham. The route begins at the K Line's Fairview Heights station, connecting it with the J Line's Slauson station and the A Line's Slauson station before terminating at the intersection of Santa Fe and Slauson Avenues.{{Cite web |date=July 7, 2022 |title=L.A.
