Mayor Karen Bass is set to announce a plan, including a collaboration between LA28 and Highland Electric Fleets, to advance the city’s sustainability and public transportation goals for the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
The Los Angeles Metro Board of Directors had previously requested a report last year on overall preparation plans to ensure a successful event.
Board Chairwoman and Los Angeles County Supervisor Janice Hahn introduced the motion on Sept. 20.
The supervisor wants the agency to examine the number of bus operators and maintenance staff needed for the 2028 Olympics.
Additionally, the report would include details on a broader staffing plan, efforts to coordinate with other municipal bus operators and Metrolink, as well as a cost estimate and potential funding sources.
The Olympics will return to Los Angeles for an historic third time in 2028.
The LA 2028 Olympics Opening Ceremony is July 14, 2028 with competition through July 30, 2028. The LA28 Paralympic Games will kick off Aug. 15, 2028 and close Aug. 27, 2028.
The organizing committee released a first look at the competition schedule last month.
