With just under 4 million residents in the City of Los Angeles and millions more in the surrounding metropolitan area, traffic congestion has long been a challenge for the region. As the city gears up to host the 2028 Summer Games, Mayor Karen Bass has introduced an ambitious plan to ease gridlock during the event.
Mayor Bass aims to implement a 'no-car Games' policy, restricting vehicle access to any venue hosting sporting events over the two-week Olympic period. Attendees will be required to utilize public transportation, prompting efforts to expand the city's transit system. To accommodate the increased demand, Los Angeles plans to borrow over 3,000 buses from other cities across the country.
