Transit Equity Day 2024!

Transit agencies across Los Angeles are offering free fares on Sunday, February 4th in honour of Transit Equity Day! This initiative pays homage to Rosa Parks’ significant role in desegregating public transit and underscores the right of all people to affordable public transportation. The following transit systems will offer free rides all day:

  • Beeline- hope on, no fares required, plan your trip here.
  • LA Metro- Turnstiles will be unlocked and tap fare will not be required!
  • Metro Micro: book the ride and use code EQ2023.
  • Metrolink & Arrow- Take any seat and ride Metrolink, and Arrow, for free.
  • Metro Bike Share- select ‘1-Ride’ at any Metro Bike Share kiosk, online or in the Metro Bikeshare app, and use code 020423 (can be used any number of times throughout the day)

For riders looking to make further connections, Pasadena Transit, OCTA, Riverside and San Bernardino County transit systems will also be providing free rides. Please note that transit systems in other counties may require a fare, as will Amtrak’s Pacific Surfliner.

Go Glendale 2023 Average Vehicle Ridership Survey Results

In 2023, a significant number of individuals resumed in-person work routines more consistently. With the decrease in telework, this year’s Average Vehicle Ridership (AVR) survey reveals  a promising uptick in sustainable commuting modes and transit as opposed to a mass transition back to single-occupancy vehicles. Throughout October, Go Glendale collaborated with the City of Glendale to conduct an AVR survey across our ten member properties in Downtown Glendale. For one week, we asked you about your commute routines, your thoughts on public transportation, and ideas on what changes could make sustainable commutes to and from Glendale even easier. Go Glendale then analyzed and summarized these results, bringing you the final results in this post.

Explore how commuting in Glendale has evolved, comparing the data with the findings from 2022!

As a note, the Average Vehicle Ridership is a ratio of the number of employee/resident trips over the number of vehicle trips. The higher the ratio, the fewer vehicle trips are being taken in comparison to all trips.
