Changing Mobility in Los Angeles – and More
The new Expo Line is leading the way in regional efforts to shorten commutes and increase mobility. It will provide faster, more reliable public transportation services and increase the capacity of the transportation system in Los Angeles County. By giving those who live, work and play in the Exposition Corridor an alternative to driving, the Expo Line will contribute to reduced levels of air pollutants and greenhouse gases, thereby improving the overall quality of life.
