Hello Southland Transit Supporters:
Have you ever wanted to know more about the latest happenings at Metro and the many projects? Well, here is your chance to learn, listen and get some answers first hand from Arthur T. Leahy, Chief Executive Officer of Metro, who will update attendees on what has been happening at Metro. Our speaker may not answer every question, but you'll learn a lot about the latest developments in the regional rail system and especially the downtown Regional Connector, the Purple Line, the Crenshaw Line, the Orange Line, the West Santa Ana Branch, the Wilshire BRT, Dodger Baseball Service and the Metro Bus System Changes. Find out first hand, by joining us.
First @ 6:55 p.m. we will have introductions and go over some of the latest transit developments.
At 7:05 p.m, we will start the program, so make a goal to be there at the start at 6:45 p.m.
Leahy will speak and answer questions until 8:10 p.m. and then we will cover the business of other transit activities in Southern CA.
