Do you take transit in Culver City? How about heading to beach cities south of Marina del Rey? Consider riding transit to the airport?
Los Angeles County is asking Westside residents—including those in Santa Monica who regularly travel into nearby unincorporated communities—to help shape the future of local transportation. As part of the SD2 Transit Assessment Study, County Public Works is gathering detailed input to better understand how people move through the neighborhoods of the Second Supervisorial District (full map), which sits directly east and south of Santa Monica.
The study focuses on LA County’s shuttle and Dial-a-Ride programs, which provide essential mobility for seniors, people with disabilities, and residents who live far from major bus and rail lines. County officials say improving these services is critical not only for the communities within SD2 but also for Westside riders who depend on cross-jurisdiction connections for commuting, caregiving, and daily errands.
This winter, the County is launching a round of in-person outreach to capture on-the-ground experiences from riders and non-riders alike. Residents are invited to attend one of two December community events to take the project survey, meet the study team, and share insights on what works—and what doesn’t—when traveling through SD2:
- Tuesday, Dec. 2, 6–7:30 p.m. – Lennox Park Community Center, 10828 Condon Ave., Lennox
- Tuesday, Dec. 16, 6–7:30 p.m. – The LA Alpha House, 3712 West 54th St., Los Angeles
County Public Works emphasizes that public input will directly shape recommendations aimed at enhancing equity, reliability, and access across the region’s most underserved areas.
Santa Monica residents who rely on travel through SD2—or who want to see stronger regional mobility—can learn more or take the survey online by visiting the project webpage.
