Rail Transit Advances in Los Angeles
Posted June 3, 2019, Length: 24:23
In 2008, Los Angeles County voters approved a half-cent sales tax increase to support specific improvements to both highways and transit facilities; in 2016, voters extended and increased that tax to support continued transportation investments.
In this podcast we get a progress report on the investment program and learn about transit projects that will support the 2028 Olympic Games from Phillip Washington, CEO of the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority.
The Infrastructure Show is sponsored by Northwestern University.
