This is a story about bus stops and our transformative legislation, AB 1599, that sets the foundation for a more seamless and integrated transit system throughout California!
There are over ten of thousands of bus stops in Los Angeles County alone and with 250+ transit agencies, hundreds of thousands statewide. And we simply don’t know where most of them are!
The result is a physical stop shows up differently across apps, confusing rider and making it harder to make your connection. For a rider with a disability, it makes it even harder to catch your ride.
Our sponsored bill, Assembly Bill 1599, ends this chaos by creating a California Bus Stop Registry and assigning every stop in the State a California ID so when your map app pulls it up, it is automatically correct!
For Riders, AB 1599:
- Creates a seamless transfers across agencies and modes
- Supports accessibility and equity investments
- Eliminates (expensive) custom trip planning apps
- Future-proofs systems for modernization
- Makes capital planning easier
Thank you to Assemblymember Patrick Ahrens for carrying this bill and to Move LA, David Azevedo of AARP California, David Martinez and Marc Vukcevich from Streets For All, and Melissa Werner for being partners on this bill. And to Gillian Gillett for the vision for what this bill could be and how government can solve problems for customers.
Now AB 1599 sits on the Governor’s desk waiting his signature! Let’s do it!
