25% OF RAMS FANS ARE TAKING METRO -- SHOWS HOW MEASURE M WILL REDUCE TRAFFIC AND ADD CONVENIENCE
LA MEMORIAL COLISEUM -- The Measure M campaign announced that 25 percent of Rams fans are taking Metro to games at the Coliseum, accounting for approximately 20,000 people who are off the roads and freeways and not clogging parking lots. Metro has been running extra trains on the Expo Line and has been increasing bus service for the games.
"Measure M will reduce traffic for our daily commutes and during special events by breaking freeway bottlenecks and by creating a countywide, interconnected transportation system," Metro Vice Chair and L.A. Mayor Eric Garcetti said. "25 percent of Rams fans taking Metro to the games means 20,000 fewer people clogging freeways and parking lots, and that means less traffic for us all. It shows that the success we've already seen by extending the Expo Line to Santa Monica is only increasing, and it shows what we can achieve by voting yes on Measure M."
"Whether you're going to a ball game, planning a Saturday 'date night,' or going to the Music Center and nearby museums, Measure M will make it convenient for your and reduce traffic and parking congestion for us all," Garcetti added.
