reliability, safety and security across the system, especially as Los Angeles prepares for major global events. Metro is also investing in the next generation of climate leaders through its Youth Programs. By working directly with young people from across Los Angeles County, Metro creates opportunities for youth to help shape real-world sustainability solutions, contribute to ongoing initiatives, and engage in real-world climate action. At the same time, Metro is helping prepare the region’s future workforce through its Growing Greener Workforce program. Through training, education and career pathways in clean transportation and sustainable infrastructure, the agency is building a pipeline of talent needed to deliver and maintain a low-carbon transit system. “The challenges ahead are real – from fiscal pressures to the evolving climate – but they are matched by opportunity,” said Wiggins. “Metro’s leadership, innovation, and commitment to people will continue to drive our success. Together, we are shaping a future where sustainable mobility is not just an aspiration, but a way of life for every Angeleno.” Going forward, Metro will continue issuing biennial progress reports and annual performance updates via Metro’s Sustainability Dashboard. These reporting mechanisms, coupled with ongoing governance improvements, will ensure accountability, transparency and responsiveness to emerging challenges. Metro will also continue collaborating with community-based organizations, labor partners and education institutions to align sustainability goals with regional equity and workforce development priorities.
