Overview

The Blue Ribbon Committee is an initiative to develop a regional transit service concept which will serve as the blueprint for the transit system in which systems integration/coordination, service quality attractiveness, customer/employee focus, and sustainability are critical elements.

• The blueprint will be translated into service design guidelines that focus on optimizing the regional system by addressing issues such as duplicative and unproductive services, system speed, establishing a regional network and hierarchy of routes, route alignment and schedule design, on time performance and reliability, load standards, and establishing specific roles for Metro bus, rail, and municipal operators. 
• The guidelines will be used to restructure our transit system towards achieving the goals and objectives of the regional transit service concept. Through this process, we hope to renew partnerships with our employees, municipal operators, and the public, which provides a collaborative environment for the successful implementation of Measure R.

BRC Membership

Creating a coordinated and integrated transit system will require significant collaboration with key stakeholders, including service sectors, municipal operators, Metro's Citizens Advisory Council, Council of Governments, User Groups such as Business Associations, chambers of Commerce, educational facilities, and civic leaders.  The BRC is comprised of twenty members with representation from each of these areas.

Monthly Meetings

The BRC meets on the first Tuesday of every month at 9:00 a.m. at Metro Headquarters Building, One Gateway Plaza, Los Angeles, CA 90012-2952.  The final meeting will be held on Tuesday, June 1, 2010.
