In Paris, U.S. Sen. Alex Padilla said, ‘With the Olympics headed to L.A., we must make critical investments.’
A Metro bus on Vermont Ave in Los Angeles on Friday, May 3, 2024. An initial $200 million federal grant is in the works to assist the Southland in establishing a bus leasing program and bolster infrastructure in preparation of the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games, U.S. Sen. Alex Padilla announced on Friday, July 26.
Padilla, D-California, is in Paris this week for the opening ceremony of the Olympic and Paralympic Games as part of a presidential delegation, which includes Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass and members of the LA2028 organizing committee. The senator expressed his gratitude toward the Senate Appropriations Committee for including his request for funding to support a regional transportation management system needed to make the Games run smoothly for athletes, visitors and Angelenos.
The bus leasing program is expected to build on the model used in Atlanta in 1996 and Salt Lake City in 2002. It will facilitate the donation or leasing of buses or bus operators from public transit agencies throughout the United States to Los Angeles public transit agencies and the L.A. committee for the Olympic and Paralympic Games 2028.
