California's New $2 Billion Pitch to Save Public Transit: International Sports Fans Are Coming

Source: San Francisco Chronicle

"Millions of spectators will need to use public transit to get to game events and other tourist destinations," Arreguín and Assembly Member Mark González, D-Los Angeles, wrote Wednesday in a letter requesting the $2 billion budget set-aside.

"Completing new rail and bus lines and making first- and last-mile connections are needed to help spectators move safely, reliably, and comfortably," the letter continued, noting that cities sought federal funds to jump-start these projects, but aren't guaranteed that money.
