How We Are Funded

The Transportation Division is funded by a few sources. The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) distributes Local Return funding via four 1/2 cent sales tax measures: Proposition A, which are funds dedicated exclusively to benefit public transit; Proposition C, funds that are dedicated to benefit public & active transit; Measure R and Measure M, funds that can be applied to an even broader range of transportation projects and programs.

We also receive funding from South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) via its AB 2766 Motor Vehicle Subvention Program. A portion of DMV vehicle registration fees are distributed to Cities on a per capita basis to encourage programs that reduce congestion and improve air quality for the region.

On the Move Riders

On the Move Riders is a peer-to-peer training program that aims to educate older adults about the joys of riding public transportation. Through group trips or one-on-one sessions, the program consists of experienced transit users (Travel Buddies) and less experienced riders (Participants) who travel together to fun places throughout LA County using public transportation.

If you are someone who is already well versed in LA's transit system we would love to certify you as an official Travel Buddy for the Glendora Chapter! You'll even get an incentive each month to say thank you for volunteering your time. If you are interested, Lily Ortiz at (213) 922-2299 or email onthemove@metro.net.

Regional Transportation Information

Metro Fareless System Initiative

Metro is the third busiest transit agency in the nation, serving the largest service area - LA County - with over 10 million residents. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, ridership has taken a sharp decline.

Metro is working on creative ways to spur economic recovery amidst the COVID-19 pandemic and reverse the trend of declining transit ridership. Metro's onboard Customer Survey administered in Fall 2019 (pre-COVID) showed that 75% of Metro customers are Latino and African American, with almost 70% of customers having an annual household income less than $35,000 (81% with income less than $40,000). Furthermore, 51% of Metro customers live below the federal poverty level, with a median household income of $19,325 systemwide and only $17,975 for bus riders.

Beginning September 2020, the Fareless System Initiative (FSI) Task Force embarked on an intensive process of studying and identifying facts, challenges and opportunities related to eliminating fares on Metro buses and trains.
