Meeting_Body OPERATIONS, SAFETY, AND CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE COMMITTEE NOVEMBER 15, 2018 Subject SUBJECT: CRENSHAW/LAX - GREEN LINE OPERATING PLAN Action ACTION: APPROVE RECOMMENDATION Heading RECOMMENDATION Title CONSIDER: A. APPROVING Alternative C-1 (Norwalk - Crenshaw/Expo, and Redondo Beach - Aviation/Century) as the preferred service plan for Crenshaw/LAX - Green Line; and B.
