The Twenty-Eight by ’28 Initiative provides a clear vision of Metro’s priorities. Selected projects address regional needs, with a focus on transit solutions that would provide additional connectivity to major sports venues. The list of projects included some already slated for completion by 2028 and several complex mega projects that would require unprecedented acceleration. These projects represent a strategic and forward-thinking approach to ensure the success of the Games while concurrently fostering long-term benefits for the diverse communities of Los Angeles County.
Other potential anticipated equity benefits include a reduction in single occupancy vehicle reliance, improved air quality and reduced household transportation costs. In March 2024, the Metro Board revised the project list by replacing projects that are not able to meet the 2028 Games timeline with projects/programs that align with Metro’s 2028 Mobility Concept Plan (MCP), and either have been completed since the initiative began or can be completed before the 2028 Games. Investments on this list are distributed countywide, demonstrating proactive regional coordination.
