As Los Angeles prepares to host the 2028 Olympics, one of the major factors that will decide the success of the games is transportation.
"The Olympic Games has made it very clear that there will be no-car zones throughout L.A.," county Supervisor Holly Mitchell said. "Go Metro!"
"We're going to be ready for the games. We're going to correct decades of division in our communities and create a better quality of life for all Angelenos," said California Sen. Alex Padilla. $700 million of the funds come from the bipartisan infrastructure law and the recently passed appropriations bill. The more la county residents ride Metro, the safer the service will be and the best way to experience the Olympics will be public transportation.
