September 29 -- The Los Angeles Times endorsed Measure M today in a clear and thorough editorial, which was headlined in a manner that truly says it all: "L.A. County residents need alternatives to sitting in soul-crushing traffic. Vote yes on Measure M."

The Times cites the immediate success of the Expo Line extension to Santa Monica, as well as huge spikes in new ridership aboard the Gold Line Extension to Azusa, as indicators of swelling demand in a region increasingly challenged by traffic and crying out for solutions.
