Advanced Transportation Management System (ATMS) technology makes Metro the operator of one of the "smartest" and most "feature packed" bus fleets in the world.
Metro supports bicycling as a transportation mode that improves air quality and congestion and helps make healthy communities in Los Angeles County.

These projects will improve bus speed on north/south corridors on Reseda, Sepulveda, Van Nuys and Lankershim/San Fernando Boulevards.

The Metro Gold Line has arrived in East LA. With eight new stations serving diverse LA neighborhoods, such as the Arts District, Little Tokyo and Boyle Heights, this eagerly awaited extension connects the Eastside by rail to Downtown LA, Pasadena, San Fernando Valley, South Bay, Long Beach and dozens of points in between.
In preparation for the construction of the new El Monte Station, the contractor will begin construction of the temporary bus terminal on Tuesday, April 20 and is expected to last approximately 20 months.

Connecting LA and Orange County...in 20 minutes! The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) includes $8 billion for High-Speed Rail (HSR). Metro is coordinating with the California High-Speed Rail Authority, Federal and State agencies to help secure a portion of this designated funding for this segment.
A study conducted on Metro bus service here in Los Angeles showed that half the time a bus is in service, it is stopped, either at a red traffic signal or at a bus stop to board and/or alight passengers. To improve bus speeds, the Metro Rapid Program was implemented in June 2000.

Metro Silver Line connects the South Bay and the San Gabriel Valley to Downtown LA seven days a week. With service every 5-15 minutes during weekday rush hours, save time during your commute as the Silver Line zips by traffic.
