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.

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.
