A $122 million pilot program, approved by the executive board of the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority in June, will place up to 300 uniformed workers on trains and buses starting this fall, the LA Times website reports today (July 3, 2022).
The new workers will help with directions, alert police of a threat, point people to homeless services, keep an eye on vulnerable, and check that seats are clean and passengers are safe.
The program will run up to five years and could be expanded if successful.
