Advocating for a World-Class Transit System
Investing in a modern transportation network will make our region more economically competitive while enhancing quality of life.
In Los Angeles…
People are 30% more likely to use transit if they live close to transit stations or stops.
Los Angeles is truly the nation’s next mass-transit city.
Investing in a modern transportation network makes our region more economically competitive. It enhances our attractiveness to employers looking to expand or relocate, while improving the quality of life for all Angelenos and bringing L.A. in line with other global cities.
The LABC strongly advocates for policies that incentivize new, affordable housing near jobs and efficient transit.
An Agenda for Equity-Centered Clean Transportation
In partnership with the UCLA Luskin Center for Innovation, the LABCI commissioned groundbreaking research on the need to place equity at the center of California’s electric vehicle strategy or risk falling short of benchmarks and worsening disparities in low-income communities hit hardest by pollution
I’m really excited about this particular report. It helps us as we’re building out the ZEV [zero-emission] market development strategy. Ya know… how are we going to go about measuring and making sure that we are in fact delivering on the equity promise that we are pushing for.
