Project Summary
The intercity and intercounty public transit systems in the Southern California region remain unintegrated, which presents challenges to riders, including paying fares and accessing fare discounts, receiving real-time travel information, and making seamless intermodal transfers. Los Angeles County alone has 26 municipal transit agencies. The lack of organization between these transit providers creates a complex governance structure that limits coordination across operators, resulting in a fragmented regional transit system that can confuse riders and operators.
