Public Affairs Dept., Southern California Rapid Transit District, 1992.

Transit 2000 was a monthly television show produced by the Southern California Rapid Transit District (RTD) and broadcast on Channel 13 in Los Angeles in 1992. Hosted by Joseph Benti and Dyana Ortelli, its focus is transportation in the 21st century, transit alternatives and issues in Southern California and car-less excursions to places and sites of interest in Southern California.

In this program, Ortelli avoids Southern California's notoriously heavy traffic and travels from downtown Los Angeles to San Diego by Amtrak and spends the day touring the city - all without a car. And discusses the original two competing rail alternatives for San Fernando Valley, California: an elevated aerial system (monorail) vs. a subway and above-ground train system. And explores how recycled tires are combined with asphalt to make rubber roads, an alternative mode of road surfacing. It also highlights Los Angeles' Exposition Park, home to arts, history and science museums and entertainment and sports venues.
