Abstract

The report documents and analyzes activities of this new transportation agency from its inception in January 1977. The first year study examines the background and start-up period (1977-78); and the second year study (1978-79) examines the Los Angeles County Transportation Commission (LACTC) goal setting process, coordination of transit service, development of new systems, and intergovernmental entrepreneurship. The main focus of this report is on the third year of the study (1979-80) and it reviews (1) Los Angeles in perspective; (2) LACTC powers and activities, 1977-80; (3) Structural comparison of LACTC and other major urban transportation institutions; (4) Critical policy issues; (5) Public policy impacts in an era of declining resources.
