Welcome to the UCLA Transit Wiki.
We'll be developing this resource for California's transit agencies over the next few months.
This tool will help facilitate the identification of cost-effective strategies that are appropriate to an agency, and connect agency staff with the additional information they need to explore and implement the strategy.
This work by UCLA Institute of Transportation Studies is funded by the Caltrans Division of Mass Transportation's Statewide Transit Strategic Plan project.
