Minimized discontinued segments 84% of LA County residents have used transit at least once in the past year Creating a competitive transit network Fast/Frequent/Reliable service is key Building a network that reflects travel today & tomorrow Metro’s current system is not always competitive to get people where they want to go Improving midday, evening & weekend service The greatest opportunity to grow ridership is between midday & evening when many trips are short distance Providing better service in equity- focused areas Need to integrate Metro’s Equity Framework into the 2 planning process

Transit First The full network complements Muni lines, Metro Rail, & Metrolink services 5-10 Min 83% of Metro’s bus riders 12-15 Min would have frequent service 20-30 Min all-day (compared with 48% 40-60 Min today) Muni Lines Metro Rail Metrolink 3

Extensive Public Outreach 6

General Comments–Draft Plan (01/20) • Widespread support • Fo For improved frequencies, especially off peak • Merging of Rapid/Local services on key corridors • Speed improvements • More information needed • Regarding bus stop consolidation • Some concerns • With lost service coverage • Convenience (need to transfer) 7

• Restored coverage in many areas • Restored most one-seat ride concerns • Serve some underutilized with MicroTransit • Kept intact core service plan (high frequency corridors) 8

NextGen Key Corridor Improvements Metro Local (0.15 – 0.20 mi avg) Metro Rapid (0.60 mi avg) (0.25 mi avg) Corridor improvements provide shorter walks, shorter waits all day, faster travel with transit priorities and a simplified network. 9

MicroTransit, service where and when you need it! • Small and adjustable (seats 7-10 customers) • Rides can be booked online and over the phone • Rides can be prescheduled and paid for with TAP • Pick-up and drop-off will be vetted by Metro for safety and lighting • Service designed to support essential trips (groceries, medical, etc.) • Flexible for mobility needs, storage • Average wait time of 10 minutes • Includes space for up to 2 wheelchairs in some vehicles • Six pilot zones • Watts/Willowbrook • LAX/Inglewood • Northwest San Fernando Valley • Highland Park/Eagle Rock/Glendale • Altadena/Pasadena/Sierra Madre • UCLA/Westwood/Century City 10

NextGen & Recovery Plan NextGen Recovery Plan Establishing route network based on: Phasing plan as markets emerge: Major travel flows & destinations • Adding service based on Service Tier • Transit’s competitiveness in serving designation as demand grows • these travel flows • Tracking emerging travel demand weekly based High transit propensity on changes in economic indicators by industry, • brand & geography Setting service levels based on: • Conducting spot surveys to monitor • Intensity of travel by willingness-to-ride based on demographics origin/destination & anticipated • Incorporating MicroTransit & Mobility on transit mode share Demand as integrated components of network • Defining Service Tiers to • Incorporating social distancing & cleanliness accommodate seamless transfers standards for many travel patterns 12
