Continued operation of the Metro Rapid network with over 400 miles of service throughout Los Angeles County. These lines make fewer stops, follow simpler routes, run more frequently, use low-door buses to facilitate boarding and are given priority at certain traffic signals.

Continued operation and expansion of express bus service. Express lines use existing rights-of-way to provide efficient long-distance service.

Improvements in the quality and reliability of local bus service over the next 30 years, such as utilization of higher capacity buses.

Continuation and expansion of efforts such as dedicated hands-on “sampler” buses, large-type mapping and route planning tools, outreach to senior centers and retirement homes, specialized large-type informational materials and audience-appropriate training videos.

Continuation and expansion of enhancements on buses such as wheelchair lifts or ramps, automated voice enunciators and electronic signage to call out stops for visually and hearing impaired passengers.

The per-passenger cost of providing transit service is much higher than the fares charged to riders. As a result, transit service is subsidized. Measure R is expected to allow Metro to maintain its fares for one year and freeze fares for seniors, students, the disabled and commuters for five years.

Continuation and expansion of connecting bus lines at various stations to increase access to rail lines.

Continuation and expansion of community-based circulators.

Continuation and expansion of municipal transit operator funding and other locally-based transit service providers.

*Specific improvements are expected to be developed by local jurisdictions.
