The latest streets and transportation news from Streetsblog L.A.

This expands the joint Metro-LADOT program that’s already issuing $293 tickets using on-bus cameras on Wilshire and La Brea. Other cities have found similar bus lane enforcement programs improved bus speed and reliability, and increased ridership.
