Last month, the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority Board of Directors approved the updated 2020 Long Range Transportation Plan, a $400-billion, 30-year transportation blueprint for the region, following a 45-day public review period to gather additional comments from the public.

The plan lays out a vision and roadmap for bringing about a more mobile, sustainable and vibrant future for Los Angeles County. Through extensive public outreach over the past two years that included 77 community events, 38 public meetings and 20,000 survey responses from the public, Metro has distilled the region’s desires into four goals: Better Transit, Less Congestion, Complete Streets and Access to Opportunity.

The 2020 Long Range Transportation Plan outlines what Metro is doing currently and what Metro must do for L.A. County over the next 30 years. Current challenges – including the COVID-19 pandemic crisis – will present opportunities for Metro to take bold action and help achieve mobility improvements in the region.

The 2020 LRTP outlines how Metro funds, plans, builds, manages and maintains the region’s transportation system – and how Metro partners to deliver projects and programs.

The 2020 LRTP details how Metro will add more than 100 miles of rail over the next 30 years, the most aggressive transit expansion plan in the nation.
