| Abstract | Los Angeles, like other cities, loses billions of dollars each year just because of people stuck on the region's tangled roadways. Scholars, politicians, activists and numerous overlapping government agencies each offer often-competing solutions for how to get the region moving. All the while, the solution might begin not with expensive upheavals and construction of vast new transit networks, but instead with better cooperation, education and mobilization of the surprisingly robust transit network that already exists in the metropolis. Despite an economic downturn, more than two-thirds of Los Angeles County voters chose to tax themselves to pay for Measure R, a $40 billion expansion of the region's transit system. But a debilitating state budget battle still puts transit in a precarious position across California, including Los Angeles, whose position among the world's great cities could be at risk. |
