At the annual meeting of Southern California Transit Advocates last month, one of the participants pointed out that no further public hearings will be held on L.A. Metro’s service restructuring program NextGen, as the entire slate of service changes had been approved by the Metro Board in October 2020. As NextGen implementation rolls out over three consecutive service adjustments (December 2020, June 2021, and December 2021), the role of advocates will be to monitor and evaluate. For instance, they will need to keep an eye on the NextGen Bus Speed Engineering Working Group, for which a status report was released at this month’s Metro Board Operations Committee meeting.
