A second rider-advocate seat also passed 12-1, set to be filled by the mayor’s appointees. Both seats will have full voting power — a major shift. While state law blocks immediate changes, this move signals a push to embed rider input into top-level transit decisions, potentially reshaping how LA’s public transportation is governed.
