STRENGTHS• Residents in the region have approved tax increases to fund
transport projects, although there is still a preference for road improvements
• Strong state and local support initiatives have led to high rate of adoption for electric vehicles (EV)
• Several new rail lines and a reorganisation of the bus network will expand capacity as the city prepares to host the Olympics in 2028
CHALLENGES• Private vehicle ownership has increased faster than population
growth, contributing to persistently high congestion on the roads • Public transport passenger numbers have declined
substantially since 2013, particularly on the bus network, which accounts for 70 per cent of total public transport numbers
• The city’s regulations for the provision of data on mobility have faced legal challenges from both private companies and advocates of privacy

About the Deloitte City Mobility IndexThe Deloitte City Mobility Index reviews major cities on key aspects of mobility and the resulting relationship to economic performance. Drawing on publicly available data, client conversations, and bespoke Deloitte analyses, we assess each city’s ability to transport its citizens both now and in the future and therefore its potential to bring prosperity to the city.
As we receive feedback, we will update and expand the analysis, which may mean the results shown in this document may change.

Cars dominate transport use, due to unreliable public transport and the relatively low cost of private vehicles.• Measure M, a 2016 initiative to fund
transport, commits the bulk of its revenue to improving capacity on the 6,500 miles of roads, thereby encouraging individuals to continue using private vehicles.
• The city’s NextGen Bus Plan is the largest reorganisation of its bus system in 30 years. It addresses a 25 per cent drop in passenger numbers since 2013 by investing $1bn to improve speed, reliability, safety and comfort through dedicated bus lanes, covered shelters and better on-board information.
• In May 2020, Metro announced a switch to the third-party Transit app to provide more accurate real-time information and mobile ticketing and include journeys with other agencies and on private services. This is expected to save Metro $240,000 a year in software maintenance and development costs.
Low-income populations are the biggest users of public transport, particularly the bus. The city has experienced falling passenger numbers as users switch to cars, driven by lower costs of car financing and petrol. • In recent years, a strong regional economy
has led to rising rents, which have pushed low-income families to areas poorly served by public transport.
• Metro’s report ‘Understanding How Women Travel’, published in August 2019, examined women’s travel patterns, and how their various concerns can be addressed. The results will inform an upcoming Gender Action Plan.
• The region’s plan to expand cycling has progressed unevenly. Some of the smaller cities have cancelled their public cycle sharing programmes, whereas central LA continues to expand dedicated cycle lanes to encourage active methods of transport for short trips.
SUMMARY
Prioritise improvements to the bus network to
stem the decline in passenger numbers
Redirect a bigger share of tax revenues towards expansion of the public
transport network
Implement stricter policies to curb private
vehicle use
The Los Angeles transport and city authorities have been increasing their efforts to combat the growing problems of congestion and transport safety. The city seeks to expand public transport capacity through well-funded initiatives such as the Vision 2028 Plan and ‘Twenty-Eight by ‘28’ for the Olympic Games. Officials have conducted a number of studies to improve understanding of customer concerns and challenges, and to use the insights obtained to shape their short- and long-term mobility plans. The transport authorities have tried to formulate shared and sustainable solutions for a mobility ecosystem that is both advanced and inclusive, by fostering partnerships between the government, businesses, academia and residents.

The authorities are also considering a range of novel ways to tackle congestion, integrate private modes into the transport system and improve environmental outcomes. • The city is funding a $5.5m feasibility study
on congestion charging, due to report in 2021, which will examine pricing strategies (particularly for low-income groups), funding models and possible pilot areas. This would make Los Angeles only the second city in the US to give serious consideration to such a scheme.
• The Mobility Data Specification (MDS) developed by LADOT, designed to be an open-source-data standard and software system used by private operators to provide information on discrete journeys, has raised concerns around privacy and security, and commercial sensitivities.
• Los Angeles is boosting the use of electric vehicles, by committing to procure over 150 EV buses in the next two years and installing one of the largest public fast-charging networks in the US.
