SUMMARY:Broken Rails: What Went Wrong with LA Metro
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a reception and conversation with Reason Foundation’s Baruch Feigenbaum and Independent Institute’s Kristian Fors as they unpack the findings behind the latest California Golden Fleece® Award\, granted to the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (L.A. Metro) for its spiraling costs\, rampant crime\, and failed expansion projects. \n\n\n\n\nREGISTER NOW\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn a city famed for its car culture\, the LA Metro was meant to offer Angelenos a modern\, reliable transit system. Instead\, it’s become a case study in how not to run public transportation. Riders now face soaring crime rates\, unreliable service\, bloated construction costs\, and a bureaucracy more focused on image than on outcomes. \n\n\n\nFrom shocking safety failures to rail projects that cost more per mile than anywhere else in the country\, this Golden Fleece® report exposes how poor governance and misplaced priorities have derailed the agency’s mission\, and what reforms could put it back on track. \n\n\n\nDon’t miss this eye-opening discussion about one of the most costly and dangerous transit systems in the country\, and what it reveals about California’s broader infrastructure crisis. \n\n\n\nHosted in collaboration with the Independent Institute. \n\n\n\nWhen:December 1\, 2025 |  6:00 p.m.–9:00 p.m. \n\n\n\nWhere:Reason Foundation’s L.A. Office5737 Mesmer Ave.Los Angeles\, CA 90230 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nREGISTER NOW\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Los Angeles Metro: Unacceptable Crime\, High Costs\, and Unnecessary Expansions\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nREAD REPORT
