Listeners of Los Angeles News Today receive 10% off with code LANEWS10. theplantdaddies.com/lanews Metro is poised to add a rider representative to its board — someone who actually uses the buses and trains daily — to ensure everyday commuters have a direct voice in shaping transit policy. Backed by L.A. County Supervisor Janice Hahn and Long Beach Mayor Rex Richardson, the proposal aims to embed lived experience into decision-making, with advocates calling it a major step forward. While the rider seat is moving ahead, adding a seat for small cities is on hold for further review. The change still requires state legislative approval and is part of a broader board restructuring tied to Measure G. Similar models have worked elsewhere, proving that frontline riders can lead meaningful transit improvements. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
