This past Election Day, AARP was proud to celebrate the passage of “The Los Angeles County Transportation Plan”, or Measure M. This ballot initiative is poised to deliver over $120 billion dollars’ worth of transit improvement projects that will relieve traffic across the region, fix sidewalks and potholes, and improve our quality of life. ( Read more here.) Now that the campaign is over, we’re hard at work at assembling an action plan to ensure that Measure M benefits AARP members across the County’s 88 cities. This week, we celebrated Measure M’s passage with our volunteers, and discussed the official launch of our special Los Angeles County transportation advocacy team. This team will be “in the know” about opportunities to speak up with your voice and help shape how Measure M dollars are spent in your communities. We’ll tell you all about the big meetings to attend and which elected representatives to contact. If you’d like to join this team, click here.
