Call the Safer LA Travel Story Hotline to Share a Story About Your New Commute!

The Los Angeles Department of Transportation and the Department of Cultural Affairs presents a virtual, 24-hour, live-streamed telethon. Artists, city planners, librarians, musicians, poets, and more respond to the theme of "Transportation as Connective Tissue," and will raise money for the DCA Arts Emergency Relief Fund. This program awards emergency grants to local artists negatively impacted by COVID-19. We believe that even in times of a pandemic, art remains an essential service that uplifts spirits, provides comfort, and sets up a platform for reflection for all communities across Los Angeles.

Despite Safer at Home orders, essential workers still rely on public transportation. Buses, trains, bicycles, and ride shares connect people across LA, from the clerks helping you purchase groceries, to the mail carriers completing your online deliveries, to the drivers handing you your dinner, and the port workers emptying container ships to make all these goods available to us. Finding inspiration from personal experiences, news reports, or statistical data.

In addition, we’ve set up the Safer LA Travel Story Hotline so that anyone across Los Angeles can share their experience during this time. Simply call or text the number 213-441-1558 and share a recent story about your commute.
