The Los Angeles Metro Board meets tomorrow to discuss certifying the C Line extension’s final Environmental Impact Report. The City of Torrance is urging Board members to reject the last-minute counter-motion that would devastate the regional economy, costing taxpayers nearly $800 million more, crippling the South Bay’s primary commercial gateway. Join us to share our voices at tomorrow’s meeting. Torrance Transit will provide free roundtrip rides - meet at Mary K. Giordano Regional Transit Center (465 Crenshaw Blvd.) at 7 a.m.-7:15 a.m. Last bus leaves at 7:30 a.m. #TorranceCA

UPDATE: Bay Area Rapid Transit service between Oakland and San Francisco has resumed after a morning outage caused by a “network engineering problem.” Trains were temporarily halted between West Oakland and 24th Street Mission, including through the Transbay Tube. Service is back, but expect delays as crews work to restore the schedule. #BART #BayArea #SFCommute #Oakland

For today’s Transportation Tuesday, we’re highlighting SANDAG’s On the Move Report and its recognition of the importance of the 215 bus corridor. 🚌 The report specifically calls out Broadway as a prime segment for quick build solutions, including bus only lanes, transit signal priority, and bus islands. These are practical, ready-to-implement improvements that can move forward now and help deliver the faster 215 riders deserve.

Bay Area residents got a look Thursday at the massive cuts that could be coming to BART next year, if voters don't approve a tax increase to bail out the transit agency. The proposal includes the closure of between 10 and 15 lower-ridership train stations, as well as major service cutbacks.

We thank the thousands of South Bay residents and stakeholders including the 15+ organizations with over 35,000 members who joined us to support effective transit and the certification of the C Line Extension’s Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR) at the LA Metro Board. There is a path forward to bring rail to the South Bay. Full link in bio.

Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) staff has proposed cutting off the Tri-Valley if a regional tax measure fails at the ballots in November. The plan drew criticisms and pleas last week from both the public and the BART Board of Directors, who asked to maintain support for those dependent on the train service. BART staff has proposed a phased “Deep Cuts” strategy, which would close 10 stations in January 2027. The second phase of the strategy would entirely discontinue the Blue Line, the only line serving the Tri-Valley, in July 2027 by closing the Dublin/Pleasanton station. Four other stations would also be shuttered in the second phase. If BART proves unable to operate its second phase safely or legally, a proposed third phase would stop all service.

L.A. has the third largest public transit system in the country. And the bulk of that transit is still buses, whether it’s Metro or DASH, or any of our local agencies. But when I was growing up, it was all about the RTD, which powered L.A.’s transit for nearly 30 years. So I want to know what exactly happened to RTD? Let’s get into it! #RTD #PublicTransit #LosAngeles #lainaminute

Wanted to plug you into the fight to extend LA's light rail system to the South Bay. You can support the future of transportation in LA by attending the Metro Board Meeting this Thursday, 1/22 at 10 AM or contacting your elected officials and telling them to support this project. The proposed extension would connect the South Bay to LAX and DTLA via rail and be a huge victory for our future as a liveable, walkable region. WE WANT LIGHT RAIL TO THE SOUTH BAY WITHIN OUR LIFETIMES. Opponents of this project will propose countless alternatives and studies to draw out cost and timelines, knowing that nothing will get done if they succeed. Let's get this done! If you want to learn more, go check out my friends @southbayforward and the click the link in their bio for details on how to advocate for this project.

Free rides on Metro bus, rail, Micro and @bikemetro for Transit Equity Day on Wednesday! Transit Equity Day was created to remind everyone that good public transit is a fundamental right that connects people to jobs, education, health-care, culture, family and the world around them. That’s important in L.A. County, where about nine percent of households have no vehicles and about 30 percent of households have an income of less than $50,000. It’s Metro’s priority to ensure equitable access to transportation to everyone, every day. We’re happy today to make the rides free. If you want to ride our bus or rail system, just board a train or bus and enjoy the ride. To plan a transit trip, you can use Google Maps, Apple Maps, the Transit or Moovit apps or the trip planner on metro.net Use code 020406 for free rides on Metro Bike and code EQUITY26 for our on-demand service known as Metro Micro.

On a Friday afternoon in January, Doug Gillingham and Dana Friehauf jumped on the North County Transit Coaster in Old Town. They were heading back to Solana Beach after a long day of bike riding. They gladly paid the $6.50 fare for their train ride home. “I like supporting mass transit even though the fares we pay don’t fully support the operating costs of the train,” Doug said. “It’s a public benefit.” Every day, thousands of people ride on the transit agency’s trains to get to work, go to doctors appointments and visit the beach. In recent years, however, riders like the Gillingham and Friehauf, who actually pay their fares on North County Transit District (NCTD) trains have steadily decreased. Since 2023, about a third of Coaster riders and more than half of Sprinter riders were fare evaders, according to a KPBS analysis of NCTD ridership data. The agency does have transit inspectors, and they do in some instances check a passenger’s fare and ask them to pay on the train. But there aren’t consequences if the passenger refuses the NCTD employee’s request to pay. This explosion in fare evaders has added strain to an agency that was already struggling to recover from a sharp drop in ridership during the pandemic and dealing with an increasing number of assaults per year since 2020.
