On August 26^(th) at 11:30am, the North County/San Fernando Valley sector will have a meeting to select their candidate for the vacant LA Metro Board of Director seat. Once selected, it will go to a full vote on the LA County City Selection Committee (where all cities within LA County votes).

Previously the Sector for North County/SFV selected John Gibs (Santa Clarita Councilmember), only to not get approved when the full LA County City Selection Committee voted. Now the Sector is meeting again to decide who will be their candidate. There were other candidates running in the previous Sector meeting: Dan Brotman (Glendale City Councilmember), and Eric Ohlsen (Palmdale Mayor). It remains to be seen if the same or different candidates will be running for the seat. Please note that both the North County/SFV Sector & LA County City Selection Committee votes are based on city weighted-population votes (and not raw number of cities vote). Picture for North County/SFV weighted votes posted above.

Hopefully Rex Richardson will continue using LA Metro (and often) throughout his appointment on the LA Metro Board of Directors (he represents South-East LA County Region).

We definitely need more Board Members who are actively taking LA Metro often in order to encourage more pro-transit policies that best represents us transit riders. Even during the video, he mentions how he supports having an active transit rider on the LA Metro Board for that similar reason.

Note: K Line Service will Not Be Affected

After the thousands of state workers showed up at the July 1st Sacramento Picket Protest, I hope that we here in LA County (and neighboring areas) can show our support as well.

Found this neat post on the Montebello Transit Instagram account, saying they’re offering free rides for the next 6 months (if funding permits) for just 1 out of their 8 bus lines: Line 20.

Line 20 travels from the City of Montebello to City of San Gabriel, along Greenwood Ave/Montebello Blvd, and through San Gabriel Blvd until you reach Las Tunas Dr. (please note: there’s currently an active detour between Montebello Blvd/Mines Ave & Montebello Blvd/Whittier Blvd due to a Union Pacific Railroad grade separation project).  

Also it has a 28-minute frequency average with service starting from around 4:30/5:30am to ending at around 8:30/9:30pm.

It remains to be seen if Montebello Bus Lines will be able to extend their free fares into more time, or if they plan on providing more free rides on more bus lines?

Currently I do not see LA Metro's VBM drop box map for June 2026 election, so yes (before anyone says anything) I'm using a previous map from the Nov 2024 election, but I've confirmed using LA County's VBM locator that all the VBM drop boxes on the map are still in use. Here are the 9 Vote-By-Mail Drop Boxes list hosted at LA Metro stations (ordered by their Lines):

1. Union Station. East Wing - Customer Service Center.
