18-AUD-04 Final Report on Increasing Public Transit and Rideshare Use Study 1.30.18
Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority Office of the Inspector General Increasing Public Transit and Rideshare Use Study Report No. 18-AUD-04 January 30, 2018 Los Angeles County Office of the Inspector General 213.2447300 Tel ® 7th Metropolitan Transportation Authority 818 West Street, Suite 500 Los Angeles, CA 90017 Metro January 30, 2018 Metro Board of Directors RE: Increasing Public Transit and Rideshare Use Study Dear Metro Board Directors: The Metro Office of the Inspector General (OIG) conducted a study on potentially under-tapped sources for increasing use of public transit and rideshare. Consistent with national trends, transit ridership in Los Angeles (LA) County has declined over the last several years. Although various factors have contributed to these ridership trends, there may be Metro contractor and local City and County efforts that can help address these patterns. The OIG understands that an important core business goal for Metro is to decrease congestion and increase public transit use and ridership. We conducted this study, with assistance from an expert, TransLink, to determine what methods and strategies are currently being deployed within LA County to address and identify potential policies and programs that could apply to LA County commuters, employers, and agency partners such as Metro contractors/vendors and local public agencies, to address ridership trends. The overall findings and recommendations in the report include: • The surveys and interviews indicated that there are opportunities to encourage transit usage by stakeholders, Metro’s government and private business partners, through increased marketing campaigns, provision of additional incentives, improved awareness of Metro’s Employee Annual Pass and Guaranteed Ride Home programs, and encouraging and promoting transit use to their employees by Metro partners.
