The Transit Coalition

Transformative Transit Experience is a proposal to rethink transit spaces using the same experience design principles commonly used in SoCal theme parks and applying them to public transit spaces. We have identified Metro's historic Pershing Square Station as an ideal location for a creative laboratory to test ideas like pop-up placemaking, streamlined customer journey, staffed assistance points, intentional gathering spaces, and an injection of creativity and entertainment that our region is famous for and assess impacts on transit ridership.

The Transit Coalition is launching Ride Safe LA, a grassroots campaign and community partnership enhanceing public safety and supporting vulnerable populations on transit in Los Angeles County. We are committed to eliminating deaths and reducing violence across LA County’s transit systems. We will train volunteer safety advocates and introduce a transformative plan to make it easier for vulnerable communities to access social support services through our transit networks, benefiting our entire region.

In order to get people out of their cars, we need to create effective ways to get them to rapid transit stations.
