U.S. Department of Transportation -2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games
Metro, with the strong support of our Board, continues to advance our request for $3.2 billion in federal funding for mobility projects related to the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games. The President's FY26 Federal Budget Request did not include any transportation funding for the 2028 Games. Metro's initial request for this funding was submitted in a letter from our Board to the President-elect on November 21, 2024. More recently, our previous Chair, Director Hahn, sent a follow-up letter to U.S. Department of Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, reiterating the critical importance of this funding.
