- Thursday 6/29 and Tuesday 7/11 – Metro will host two Community Open Houses for its East San Fernando Valley Light Rail project. Metro staff will share project information and respond to your questions, discuss upcoming construction activities and what to expect, the launch of the Community Leadership Council, the Eat Shop Play program, and other programs. An in-person meeting will be Thursday 6/29 from 6-7:30 p.m. at the Alicia Broadous-Duncan Multi-Purpose Senior Center at 11300 Glenoaks Boulevard in Pacoima.

- Was Thursday 6/29 but postponed to Monday 7/10 – The opening date for the new Mt. San Antonio College Transit Center had been announced for this Thursday, but the date has been pushed back to 7/10. Additional details available at Mt. SAC post.
- Saturday 7/1 – Starting this Saturday, Metro will no longer sell daily and weekly passes. Instead riders get fare capping: using a TAP card riders will pay-as-you-go up to the cost of a pass, then additional rides are free. Details at SBLA or The Source.
