A Route to Green Transit Equity In Los Angeles

By Emily Doyle and Jaida Nabayan

The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (LA Metro) aims to transform mobility and sustainability in Los Angeles County through a reliable and equitable transit system. To support this mission, this policy brief recommends that LA Metro use a standard metric system to prioritize bus priority lane implementation using ridership, bus frequency, delay time, equity, and air pollution parameters.

This brief was completed as part of a project for the 2022 Climate Cohort, a program to teach environmental experts how to impact policy.
