Connecting Los Angeles

Julie Sneider

Abstract

The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority is expanding its light rail services. Five projects are currently underway to extend lines. The projects are being funded with federal money as well as sales tax in Los Angeles County. Los Angeles has high levels of traffic congestion, and it is hoped that residents may choose to take the train as an alternative to facing the traffic. The public is being kept informed of developments, and the level of success of these projects will likely determine support for future projects in the county.
