LADOT CityRide begins bringing eligible riders to vaccination appointments

Transportation should never be the gap that stands between our residents and the vaccine, said Mayor Eric Garcetti. Vaccines are our ticket to ending this pandemic, and this program will help break down a barrier that can keep our most vulnerable residents from accessing these life-saving doses.
The program, which will charge Cityride s regular fares, will help people with access needs get to their appointments at Dodger Stadium, Cal State Los Angeles and The Forum in Inglewood.

Portland, Ore., has ended its partnership with transit data company Replica over a disagreement about data sharing.
Portland Metro, an elected regional government serving Portland, Ore., and 23 surrounding cities, began a pilot project with Replica in April 2019 to use de-identified movement data to gain deep insights into where transit riders are coming from, where they’re headed or even which bike paths are perceived as safe.
