Since 2021, Metro has been working with the Games Mobility Executives (GME), a collaborative group including LA28, Caltrans, Metrolink, the Los Angeles Department of Transportation (LADOT), the City of Los Angeles Mayor's Office, and the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG), to develop a comprehensive mobility strategy and advance priority improvements for the 2028 Games.
