Abstract
As social equity becomes an increasingly important factor in decision-making and operations for public transit operators, LA Metro’s Office of Extraordinary Innovation is seeking to identify indicators they can use to measure their constituents’ access to opportunities and to better support transit equity in projects across their portfolio. This research builds on LA Metro’s existing work (including its Traffic Reduction Study, 2028 Strategic Plan, and How Women Travel report, among others) to understand its existing data and what additional data is realistic to collect and incorporate moving forward.
