2 advocating for affordable housing, better public transportation, and cleaner air. The organization leads SoCal Transit Month, a collaborative initiative aimed at promoting sustainable transportation alternatives across Los Angeles County. It featured a wide range of pro-transit events across the region designed to expand engagement, increase ridership, and help people understand the importance of supporting transit. A main event was the 2nd Annual Long Beach Bus Fest, which brought together transit patrons, families, and agencies for a celebration of public transportation. It gave agencies a chance to showcase their fleet and gave the public the opportunity to learn about various mobility options available in Long Beach and the surrounding area.
