CHANGING INSTITUTIONAL RELATIONSHIPS--THE LOS ANGELES COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION EXPERIENCE

P L Shaw, Renee B Simon

Abstract

The Los Angeles County Transportation Commission (LACTC), created by special legislation passed in California in 1976, is directed by 10 of the principal county and city elected officials and 1 citizen member. Because the LACTC, as a new and innovative transportation policy/planning and coordinating institution, represents the largest county in southern California, it warrants particular study as an experiment in transportation problem solving. This article provides an overview of the establishment, scope of coverage, and major issues confronting the LACTC.
