LAnow, LADOT's On-Demand, Shared Ride Program Returns on the Westside

LADOT welcomed the return of the LAnow service, its on-demand, micro-transit service serving the Del Rey, Venice, Mar Vista, and Palms neighborhoods of the City of Los Angeles this past Monday, November 1, 2021. The service operates Monday through Friday from 6:00 AM to 7:00 PM. Riders can access the service by downloading the new LAnow smartphone application. Adults and children over five years of age ride for $1.50 one-way, seniors ride for 75 cents, and children under four years of age ride for free. To celebrate the return of LAnow, all trips are free during November.

The LAnow service area includes Los Angeles City Council Districts 5 and 11, represented by Councilmember Mike Bonin of CD 11 and Councilmember Paul Koretz of CD 5.

Former riders should install the new application, either from Apple’s App Store or Google Play, before deleting the old LAnow application from their phones. Former riders with balances on their old LAnow accounts will be able to have those funds transferred to their new accounts by calling 818-493-5211 Monday through Friday between the hours of 6:00 AM and 2:30 PM once they download the new LAnow application.

The social media accounts along with the UnifiedLA@lacity.org email will be the official source of Emergency Public Information (EPI) for the Los Angeles Marathon.
