Voting to rename LA Metro project now open

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:14:17 GMT

Online voting has officially begun for those wanting to get involved and help the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority, aka LA Metro, come up with a new name for the West Santa Ana Branch Transit Corridor project.Earlier this year, Metro officials announced that the project was in desperate need of a new name to clear up confusion about the project's intended purpose and planned route.Despite its name, the planned transit expansion project stops short of Orange County and comes nowhere near Santa Ana.
