Welcome to the UCLA Transit Wiki.
We'll be developing this resource for California's transit agencies over the next few months. The goal of the tool is to 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.
About the Alpha version
This Alpha version is a draft version of a site that will be finalized in June. The draft version is incomplete, but is meant to sketch an example of the final resource so that Caltrans staff and other project stakeholders may provide feedback. Only the featured articles listed below have been completed to near-final versions. The remaining content on the site serves as placeholders.
