LA Metro: $2.9B Boosts Rail & Transit in Los Angeles County

Описание: LA Metro is investing $2.9 billion to boost local transportation. This significant allocation, nearly 30% of its FY2026 budget, will support improvements in 89 local jurisdictions. The funding will enhance existing transit networks, maintain crucial alternatives like pedestrian infrastructure, and empower local transit operators to leverage federal, state, and local funding. This investment aims to improve bus and rail services, create bus rapid transit lanes, and enhance pedestrian safety. Local transit operators will benefit from modernized fleets and expanded services, potentially including electric vehicles. The initiative also prioritizes pedestrian and alternative transportation options, supporting projects like sidewalks, crosswalks, and bicycle infrastructure. This commitment to comprehensive mobility will reduce car dependency, decrease traffic congestion, and create a more sustainable system for Los Angeles County. The long-term benefits include reduced congestion and greenhouse gas emissions.
