I found Nick’s proposal for this Venice - West Covina rail project really interesting and intriguing, and real opportunity.

At tonight's #MetroLosAngeles Westside & Central Service Council meeting at 6:00 PM, on our agenda is Metro's Mobility Plan for the 2028 Olympics.
Also on the agenda is the Link Union Station project which will enable "run-through" service at Union Station. The Link US project is as important to Southern California #metrolink regional and #Amtrak intercity rail as the "downtown connector" was to Metrorail transit. Details at https://www.metro.net/calendar/westside-central-service-council-10/.

Vermont Blvd. will be getting a three-stage transit upgrade:
(1) Curb-running rush hour bus lanes with transit signal priority
(2) Full-time BRT Infrastructure
(3) Rail
With luck, (1) and (2) will be installed by the Olympics.

'Where Does Alhambra Stand in the BRT Plan for the 60 Freeway Corridor?'
The city is not quite in the 60 Freeway corridor, but there is a strong case and appetite for Bus Rapid Transit there'
---It is always heartening to see cities in Southern California fight FOR transit projects rather than fight against them.

I love it when the grass roots gets excited about a transit corridor. This one is the one on Alameda Street downtown, connecting the Gateway project with Union Station.

Seeing how effective Gondolas are in other countries, I think it is worth trying in Los Angeles.
It was insane that Dodger Stadium was built without access to any mass transit project.

The West Santa Ana Branch Corridor project has been renamed the "Southeast Gateway" Line.

This is really interesting. A “mobility wallet” pilot program is giving South L.A. residents $150 per month to spend on a menu of transportation options. And early data is in.
The money can be used to take the bus, ride the train, rent a shared e-scooter, take micro-transit, rent a car-share, take an Uber or Lyft, or even purchase an e-bike — but they can’t be spent on the cost of owning or operating a car.

In the new book, 'Renewing the Dream: The Mobility Revolution and the Future of Los Angeles', a group of experts looks at how LA is developing transportation alternatives.
"Can modern transit options help redefine the dream life in LA?"
Yes they can and will.

Streetsblog is making good points here. If #MetroLosAngekes is going to continue #microtransit, it needs to rethink the whole program.
Perhaps Microtransjt should be redesigned around getting people to/from Metrorail, Metroliner, and Metrolink stations, and perhaps the 23 big transit transfer centers in low service areas.
What do you think about MicroTransit?
#transit #socaltransit #LosAngeles -
I'm not sold on Microtransit as the best use of scarce Metro dollars.
Who doesn't like the idea of a $1 Uber? I get why the riders who use it like it.
But with Metro paying $43 dollars a ride, and with transit operating dollars so scarce, I just cannot help but wonder.
Only 19% of its users take it to get to transit lines. Should we restrict use to get to/from Metro/Metrolink stations?

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but two bunched buses coming along after a 24 minute wait in the cold does not average out to 12 minute headways, it is still a 24 minute experience. #LosAngeles needs bus lanes all over the county. #MetroLosAngeles #LADOT. #transit #socaltransit

Climate-friendly bus shelters coming to Los Angeles. Finally.
Los Angeles transit riders need shelter and shade.
