Lewis Center’s Madeline Brozen and Juan Matute Put Los Angeles Trains in Their Proper Place

It is the mark of a UCLA transportation scholar that when asked what trains will do for Los Angeles, they respond first with an explanation of what trains will not do. Trains in Los Angeles are not going to fix traffic, nor are they going to transform the way Angelenos move about the city. What good are trains for then? You can find two thoughtful and nuanced treatments of this question from Lewis Center Associate Directors Madeline Brozen and Juan Matute at Zocalo Public Square.
