	The LaMetroMole with LACMTA Comments
		The LACMTA are probably looking forward to being named “America's Best” for their “economy”, in 2075 or whenever they complete the “Subway to the Sea”.
		In this case the LACMTA is wishing and hoping that spending $1.3 billion on a “transit-orienting” apartment/retail/office tower will cause Los Angelinos to abandon their cars in favor of public transportation.
		Fortunately, the LACMTA are only giving away $450 million which is equal to the $1.25 fares of 360 million passengers or 25% of the 1.8 ten year projection of budget shortfall.

		LACMTA is governed by a 13-member Board of Directors comprised of: five Los Angeles County Supervisors, the Mayor of Los Angeles, three Los Angeles mayor-appointed members, four city council members representing the other 87 cities in Los Angeles County, and one non-voting member appointed by the Governor of California.
		LACMTA should implement the means necessary for train operators to effectively monitor the side of trains at MRL station platforms, including the continued installation of wayside mirrors where appropriate, to ensure safety as the side doors are closed and the trains depart stations (See Checklist No. 9).
		LACMTA opposes three of the reports thirty-two recommendations, and disagrees with the reports identifying most of the recommendations as “open” including four of the seven recommendations from the 1998 that the report identifies as open.

	LACMTA Orange Line - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The LACMTA has noted that the Orange Line had about the same accident rate as other bus lines in the city on a per-mile basis.
		The fact that the LACMTA owns the former Southern Pacific Railroad right-of-way reduces the gap between approval and groundbreaking.
		In addition, another possible extension of the Orange Line often proposed by transit advocates is an extension from North Hollywood station to Bob Hope Airport in Burbank, which would approximately go up Vineland Avenue and Vanowen Street to the airport, to connect with the Metrolink station.

	LACMTA Red Line - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In early 2006, LACMTA has hinted that the Red Line will receive one further extension.
		Both eastward expansion or expansion in the Valley seem to be all but completely ruled out, due to the expansions of the Gold Line and Orange Line already operating in those areas.
		On March 16, 2006, the LACMTA board recommended that the Red Line branch running between Union Station and Wilshire/Western should be renamed the Metro Purple Line to distinguish it from the Union Station - North Hollywood Red Line.

		LACMTA also initiated modifications to the California Vehicle Code under State Senate Bill 1802, which makes citations for violations recorded by photo enforcement equipment subject to the same procedures as citations for other moving violations.
		LACMTA’s project represents the first use of photo enforcement cameras at LRT grade crossings in North America.
		LACMTA’s is the first such installation to incorporate a vehicle detection system and employ exit gates that fail safe in the up position.

	Methanol Buses return to Los Angeles - 1/30/98 (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The LACMTA has decided to end a demonstration using ethanol fuel in 330 transit buses, and will convert the buses back to methanol operation.
		By simply changing a computer chip on the buses the LACMTA had switched the buses to ethanol operation in 1995, and is now switching them back again to methanol fuel use.
		The LACMTA had switched the buses to ethanol operation to compare maintenance and reliability with the methanol fuel.

	Los Angeles: LRT Selected Over "BRT" for Exposition Corridor
		While LACMTA officials have been trying to drag the public, kicking and screaming, into their "BRT" idea, for more than a year, LRT supporters have organized to advance their vision of LRT on Exposition...
		The official "BRT" proposal for Exposition, pushed by the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transit Authority (LACMTA), was perceived as curiously skewed in its assumptions for a busway.
		LACMTA already operates its famous Rapid Bus limited-stop service on the Wilshire Blvd. – a Better Bus service (or so-called "BRT") operating in mixed traffic with some traffic-signal prioritization and spiffy new waiting shelters (stations).

	Los Angeles Times Says: Forget "BRT" ~ Go With Light Rail!
		One glaring problem is the assumption of tremendous numbers of buses travelliing along the corridor in peak times, and the concomitant downplaying of the impact of these vehicles on cross-traffic.
		How LACMTA planners expect that level of transit operation to fit into LA's heavily congested Westside street traffic volumes is never addressed.
		LACMTA planners assume that highspeed buses would pass "local" buses stopped at stations by using the opposing lane – and therefore risking head-on collision!

	The LaMetroMole with LACMTA Comments: 2005-11
		Since the LACMTA's predecessor, the RTD (Rapid Transit District) was an organization which provided bus service, that mindset was adopted, without change by the LACMTA.
		Our LACMTA was smart enough to stea.., ah I mean, be inspired by the Miami project but not smart enough to review materials, such as this pdf, which were available six (6) years ago.
		The LACMTA should no longer be allowed to spend public funds for anything without the approval of an independently constituted approval committee.

		This is not a "final" roster, since LACMTA is still in business, and this list will se revisions to relfect that fact.
		Additional information was obtained from various issues of Western Transit (for whom this compiler is in debt to the current editor, Edmund Buckley, for information on some Ford Cutaway buses) along with it's predecessor, The Booster, as well as various builders lists of GM and Yellow Coach buses.

	CPTDB -> Retired 100 Year Old LACMTA Employee Passes Away (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Arthur Winston who had just retired last month from LACMTA after 76 years of service, passed away in his sleep.
		Surpirsingly out of 76 years he only missed one day of work, according to the article I read from CBS, he missed one day of work in 1988 when his wife died.
		Something interesting is that LACMTA named a division after him and he headed the service attendents at his division until he retired.

	Los Angeles Transit Rejects New Diesels, But Ok's Ulsd Diesel Fuel News - Find Articles
		The mayor, a member of the LACMTA board, later led a unanimous vote for new CNG buses.
		Unfortunately, MTA's original bid order on new buses didn't include particulate matter (PM) traps, so the agency would have had to attempt a clumsy bid-order change to ensure that clean-diesel buses were equivalent or better on PM/HC emissions to CNG buses.
		Meantime, LACMTA is expecting more money from California Gov. Gray Davis's budget that would cover much of the extra capital cost of CNG buses.

		While proposals were being evaluated and it was necessary to avoid contact with LACMTA, Carmen kept up the visibility of DSR among the movers and shakers of Los Angeles, including key government and business decision-makers.
		Key to the decision to award the contract to DSR was the work done by Carmen to position it as the safety authority and SafeReturns™, a performance-based compensation model, as a safer, lower-risk alternative.
		Carmen and others at DSR are leveraging this experience both in Los Angeles and in the transportation industry, using LACMTA as an example of how municipal agencies can work with DSR and gain significant improvements in their worker's compensation costs.

		Abstract: This project is a cooperative attempt by the FTA, DHHS, Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC), Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (LACMTA), and the California State Medicaid Authority to broaden the coordination of public transit and human services transportation.
		LACMTA and MTC of the Bay Area will use the service structures developed by public transit operators to provide cost effective services for elderly persons and persons with disabilities to improve the cost-effectiveness of the Medicaid non-emergency transportation program, and will use the savings achieved to provide more service to meet demand.
		Ultimately, this project will successfully demonstrate the combining of Federal US DOT and Medicaid funds with state and local funds to establish an integrated brokered transportation service for elderly persons and persons with disabilities in order to establish a model for other DHHS-funded programs.
