This project helped catapult LA Metro into a leadership role nationally in terms of going ‘beyond the turnstile’ to suggest enhancements to the streets and pathways people use to access transit. The ultimate goal of the Plan was to outline how community partners and Metro can improve the experience of getting to transit, recognizing the positive link between good urban design and ridership.
HERE Co-Directors helped to define a qualitative and quantitative process by which stakeholders can analyze and understand access challenges and identified a set of tools to address these challenges as part of the Strategic Plan. The Plan is now being used in several ongoing First/Last Mile and Transit-Oriented-Communities efforts throughout the County. Project designed and managed while at Melendrez.
