The City of Los Angeles Department of Transportation (LADOT) operates the second largest bus fleet in Los Angeles County and serves approximately 26 million passenger trips annually. LADOT Transit operates five DASH routes in Downtown Los Angeles and 26 Community DASH routes, 14 Commuter Express routes and the senior and disabled Cityride program to meet the travel needs of city residents, workers and visitors.

Every three to five years, LADOT Transit performs a comprehensive line-by-line Transit Service Analysis of its services to assess their performance as well as to identify unmet transportation needs in the city.

While the analysis will study technical aspects affecting route planning such as new development, demographic changes, current and potential ridership, cost effectiveness and mobility needs, a key factor in the analysis is input from riders, potential riders, employers, social service agencies as well as other major stakeholders who represent targeted populations throughout the City of Los Angeles.
