Metro Recovery Virtual Meeting
Since the State of California enacted a stay-at-home order, our courageous front-line employees have been out there every day keeping LA County moving for those who rely on public transit to access essential services. We thank them and we thank our riders who have listened to our calls to only ride if it’s essential and to wear face coverings when on the bus or train.
Join us for a virtual public meeting to:
– Provide your comments on the Recovery Task Force’s work
– Learn about next steps for Metro’s recovery plan

Read the first progress report from Metro’s COVID-19 Recovery Task Force here
We are in the middle of the most significant public health crises in a century. Metro has responded by maintaining our lifeline services, only encouraging essential trips and requiring riders to wear face coverings. Our front-line employees are out there every day, keeping us running.
In addition to these service and safety adjustments, Metro has formed a Recovery Task Force to develop a plan to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic, and recover from it. There is no going back to the LA of before, and the Task Force’s job is to recommend bold steps to move us forward.
The Task Force will recommend a set of actions to get LA County back on our feet, pedals, wheels and rails. The Task Force’s goals include:
- Identifying and recommending potential actions that Metro can take to respond to the pandemic; to recover after the pandemic; to help lead an equitable economic recovery for LA County; and to advance mobility without congestion as the ‘new normal’ after the pandemic.
- Issuing monthly reports to Metro’s senior leadership team, CEO and Board on progress towards a recovery plan, including early action items to consider taking.
- Drafting a final recovery report.
Guided by equity assessments, Metro’s strategic plan, internal expertise and research on emerging best practices, Metro’s Recovery Task Force put together its first progress report to recommend early actions that the agency can take in advance of the final recovery report.
