Overview
In Los Angeles County, transportation decisions are an integral part of the political process and daily life for the average citizen. Because of the dynamic policy-making process and the involvement of multiple levels of government, Metro's ability to plan, program, and deliver transportation services is greatly impacted by federal, state and local legislation.
Metro's Government Relations Department directs and coordinates all activities relating to legislation and elected officials, involving legislative analyses, budgets, board and executive staff reports, briefings, and tours for elected officials, administrators, businesses and civic leaders. Department staff serve as the principal liaisons to all federal, state and local elected officials, government agencies, commissions and their staff.
The department develops Metro's legislative goals and objectives, obtains legislative support and monitors the legislative process for impacts on the work of Metro.

Know Your Government
Whether you are a transit rider, motorist, bicyclist, or just a concerned citizen, your active involvement in the legislative process could make difference. To find out which U.S. Congressional, State Senate, State Assembly, or LA County Supervisorial District represents you, go to the Los Angeles County Voting District Inquiry System. Otherwise, if you know the specific bill number, go to the official California Legislative Information web site to view the current status of bills. For federal legislation, click on the Library of Congress, Thomas web site.
Call or write to your representatives to express your opinions on legislative issues. They are your voice in the legislative process and they need to know what you think.
