This draft is an important first step in making sure that Los Angeles maximizes the benefits of our transit infrastructure for all Angelenos. We hope that you will take this first step with us and we look forward to working together to make Los Angeles more transit oriented. For more information on the Transit Corridors Initiative, and to read a white paper of recommendations by transit orientation expert Robert Cervero, please visit Mayor Villaraigosa's Transportation page.
On Friday, the Transit Corridors Cabinet will be participating in Move LA's 5th Annual Transportation Conversation, at Union Station in downtown Los Angeles. The Cabinet will present their workplan and participate in a discussion with transit orientation experts, community leaders, and the public about the future of transit orientation in Los Angeles.
