Mass Transit

Proposed Bus Line Elimination or Service Reduction - by region
Los Angeles County MTA Proposal, August 2010

The Bus Riders Union (BRU) and community allies held a press conference at a LA Unemployment Office in conjunction with the Transportation Equity Network and labor and environmental leaders across the country to strongly urge the use of Federal Infrastructure spending to strengthen transit and create more jobs.

30/10 will gut the bus system, the backbone of public transit in LA. Read the BRU's letter to congress memebers asking them for a no vote to reject Mayor Villaraigosa's 30/10 initiative.

While transportation advocates struggle in Washington to derail the priorities that have shaped transit spending for the last 50 years, it is also important to understand how federal funding is only the first part of the transit pie.

Durante los últimos 4 semanas he organizado para educar y recaudar apoyo sobre el proyecto de carril solo para autobuses de la calle Wilshire.

For the past two weeks Bus Riders Union members and volunteers have
been going out on the 720 buses and asking people to write comments of
support for the bus only lanes.  Find out what people have been saying!

"If buses are moving well, and carrying more people than the car
lanes, the bus lane looks empty most of the time. Only a failing or
obstructed bus lane looks like it's full of buses. That's why bus
lanes such a hard sell in cities run by motorists who want to do the
green thing but still form their impressions from behind the wheel."
