With ridership and sales tax revenues plummeting, L.A.'s transit agency extends 20% cut in bus and rail service for nearly a year.

Pac-12 Conference university presidents and chancellors voted Thursday to start playing a seven-game season on Nov. 7.Advertisement

“There is a lack of trust that they will come back, for obvious reasons,” said Reed Alvarado, the transportation director at FastLinkDTLA, a downtown group working to get more residents out of their cars. Metro will receive about $875 million through the coronavirus stimulus bill that Congress passed in March. The allocation will not pay for all the agency’s added operational losses, and does not cover capital costs for major construction projects, officials said.$3-trillion relief package

Elected officials in Washington “went on vacation, they’ve gone to golf courses when they should be passing something,” Garcetti said. “I hold very little hope that something will be done before the election.”The 16.5% budget cut assumes that Metro will see $730 million less from sales taxes, tolls, advertising and bus and rail fares than this year, officials said.
