New Service Plan

LADOT Transit has completed its New Service Plan, the Moving Forward Together project. This project includes a detailed Transit Service Analysis of all routes and programs within the LADOT Transit network. LADOT Transit presented initial recommendations online, within publications, at meetings, and during public hearings. Based on the comments received, LADOT Transit formulated final recommendations. The Los Angeles City Council approved the implementation of specific service changes for DASH, Commuter Express, Cityride, and the launch of LAnow.  LAnow is an on demand shared-ride service.
