The LA ART aerial gondola project aims to ease congestion and cut pollution in the Los Angeles region by connecting Union Station to Dodger Stadium. When completed, the gondola will serve underserved communities, including El Pueblo, Chinatown, Mission Junction, and Solano Canyon, and offer ADA-accessible cabins with space for strollers and bikes. METRO’s Executive Editor Alex Roman talks to David Grannis, Executive Director of Zero Emissions Transit, about the project and its current timeline, its sustainability benefits, the impact it could have on the community, and more.
Topics include:
What an aerial gondola system is.
Building community support when pitching a forward-thinking project.
The project’s aggressive proposed completion date.
The room for innovation in public transit
