The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) will host a live interactive telephone town hall meeting from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, March 31, to discuss the agency’s Fareless System Initiative.

Metro is considering eliminating fares on its buses and trains under a pilot program that would provide free rides for low-income riders starting in January and for K-12 students beginning in August 2022.

The pilot program would conclude in June 2023.

For the meeting, 100,000 residents across LA County will be randomly contacted and invited to participate in the public forum.

In addition to English and Spanish, Metro will be offering live translation in six other languages for those who sign up in advance. Anyone who wants to participate in Armenian, Chinese Mandarin, Japanese, Korean, Russian, or Vietnamese can register to receive a call in their selected language when the event begins. When they answer their phones, they will be connected to the meeting automatically in the language they signed up for.

The Telephone Town Hall will also include an option for participants to provide input through real-time polls in their designated language.

Participation and sign-up details are as follows:

There are several other ways to participate in the interactive town hall:
