Project Summary
In preparation for the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games, Los Angeles Metro is accelerating 28 major transit projects. This study evaluates how these investments affect transit accessibility and equity across Los Angeles County. Using General Transit Feed Specification data, it compares current and future access, examines which communities benefit most, and compares results to the experience of Rio de Janeiro’s 2016 Olympics to identify lessons and risks for long-term mobility improvements. The findings can inform local agencies and stakeholders on how large-scale transportation investments linked to mega-events can contribute to long-term mobility improvements and improve equity outcomes.
