Art Leahy, Chief Executive Officer
ART LEAHY, CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER Art Leahy was appointed as Metrolink’s Chief Executive Officer and began in April 2015. He brings more than 40 years of public transportation leadership and experience to Metrolink. One of the nation’s leading transit officials, Art Leahy served as chief executive officer of the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) for six years. During that time, he guided implementation of one of the largest public works programs in United States history, securing billions in federal and state dollars to help finance construction of dozens of transit and highway projects. He led the completion of numerous projects funded by Los Angeles County’s Measure R. Metro has transit and highway projects valued at more than $14 billion, eclipsing that of any other transportation agency in the nation. This includes an unprecedented five new rail projects under construction, including phase 2 of the Expo Line extension to Santa Monica and the Metro Gold Line Foothill Extension to Azusa, as well as the Crenshaw/LAX Transit Project, the Regional Connector in downtown Los Angeles, and the first phase of the Westside Purple Line subway extension to Wilshire and La Cienega. Leahy also launched a $1.2-billion overhaul of the Metro Blue Line and guided the purchase of a new fleet of rail cars. And he helped transform the iconic Union Station into the hub of the region’s expanding bus and rail transit network and led the agency’s acquisition of the 75-year-old iconic facility. Though Metrolink is a separate transportation agency from Metro, the two agencies work collaboratively on multiple fronts to provide effective and efficient public transportation options for people throughout the region. -

View Annual Update
Go Metro Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority Metro is unique among the nation’s transportation agencies. It serves as transportation planner and coordinator, designer, builder and operator for one of the country’s largest, most populous counties. More than 9.6 million people – one-third of California’s residents – live, work, and play within its 1,433-square-mile service area. Besides operating over 2,000 peak-hour buses on an average weekday, Metro also designed, built and now operates 87 miles of Metro Rail service. The Metro Rail system consists of the Metro Red/Purple Line subway system, and the Metro Blue, Expo, Green and Gold Lines. In total, the Metro Rail system serves 80 rail stations stretching from Long Beach to Downtown Los Angeles, Hollywood and the San Fernando Valley, from Culver City to East Los Angeles and Pasadena, from Norwalk to El Segundo, and all points in between. Under construction is the Expo Line Phase II which will stretch from Culver City to Santa Monica and the 11-mile Gold Line Foothill Extension from Pasadena to Azusa. In addition to operating its own service, Metro funds 16 municipal bus operators and funds a wide array of transportation projects, including bikeways and pedestrian facilities, local roads and highway improvements, goods movement, Metrolink commuter rail, and the popular Freeway Service Patrol and Call Boxes. Recognizing that no one form of transit can solve urban congestion problems, Metro’s multimodal approach uses a variety of transportation alternatives to meet the needs of the highly diverse populations in the region. -

Yet within dominant urban design paradigms, many of these per- ceptions never make it into the public meeting, nor onto the abstract maps and renderings that planners and - designers frequently employ. This thesis seeks to show that cinematic practice, or the production of subjec tive, immersive film narratives, can incorporate highly differentiated perceptions into the design process. -
