=== Rail ===
Los Angeles is a major freight-railroad transportation center, largely due to the large volumes of freight moving in and out of the county's sea port facilities. The ports are connected to the downtown rail yards and to the main lines of [[Union Pacific]] and [[Burlington Northern Santa Fe]] headed east via a grade-separated, freight rail corridor known as the [[Alameda Corridor]].

Passenger rail service is provided in the county by [[Amtrak]], [[Los Angeles Metro Rail]] and [[Metrolink (California)|Metrolink]].

Amtrak has the following intercity Amtrak service at [[Los Angeles Union Station|Union Station]] in the city of Los Angeles:
* The ''[[Pacific Surfliner]]'' to [[Santa Barbara, California|Santa Barbara]], [[San Luis Obispo]], and [[San Diego]].
* The ''[[Coast Starlight]]'' to [[San Francisco Bay Area]], [[Portland, Oregon|Portland]] and [[Seattle]].
* The ''[[Southwest Chief]]'' to [[Albuquerque, New Mexico|Albuquerque]], [[Kansas City, Missouri|Kansas City]] and [[Chicago]].
* The ''[[Sunset Limited]]'' to [[Tucson, Arizona|Tucson]], [[Houston]] and [[New Orleans]].

Union Station is also the primary hub for Metrolink commuter rail, which serves much of the [[Greater Los Angeles Area]].

Light rail, subway (heavy rail), and long-distance bus service are all provided by the [[Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority]] (Metro). Other smaller regional transit agencies that provide public transit to specific regions of Los Angeles County include [[LADOT]], [[Long Beach Transit]], [[Montebello Bus Lines]], [[Norwalk Transit (California)|Norwalk Transit]], [[Santa Monica]]'s [[Big Blue Bus]] serving the [[Westside (Los Angeles County)|western LA region]], [[Santa Clarita Transit]], [[Torrance Transit]], [[Glendale Beeline]], [[Foothill Transit]] serving the [[San Gabriel Valley]] region, and the [[Antelope Valley Transit Authority]] serving the [[Lancaster, California|Lancaster]] and [[Palmdale, California|Palmdale]] area in the [[Antelope Valley]] region.

=== Sea ===
The county's two main seaports are the [[Port of Los Angeles]] and the [[Port of Long Beach]]. Together they handle over a quarter of all [[containerization|container]] traffic entering the United States, making the complex the largest and most important port in the country, and the third-largest port in the world by shipping volume.

The Port of Los Angeles is the largest cruise ship center on the [[West Coast of the United States|West Coast]], handling more than 1{{nbsp}}million passengers annually.

The Port of Long Beach is home to the [[Sea Launch]] program, which uses a floating launch platform to insert payloads into orbits that would be difficult to attain from existing land-based launch sites.

[[Catalina Express]] ferries link the Catalina Island city of [[Avalon, California|Avalon]] to the mainland at [[San Pedro, Los Angeles|San Pedro]] and [[Long Beach, California|Long Beach]], as well as [[Dana Point, California|Dana Point]] in [[Orange County, California|Orange County]].
