“More than 65 percent of the County — 2,653.5 square miles — is unincorporated. For the 1 million people living in those areas, the Board of Supervisors is their “city council” and the supervisor representing the area the “mayor.” County departments provide the municipal services. There are approximately 120-125 unincorporated areas (depending on how you define them), with the largest number located in the northern part of the County.”

[…] Oscar Zarate (@outta_papeles) schools us on unincorporated Los Angeles, the L.A. County Tenants’ Bill of Rights, fareless transit, and more. Oscar’s citations include an analysis showing that more affordable or fareless transit could reduce over 36 billion in vehicle miles traveled (VMT) in L.A. County, as well as this study showing fareless transit’s effect on Metro bus and subway ridership during the height of the pandemic.*There are also not 90 unincorporated cities in L.A. County, but at least 124, according to this data.* […]
More public transit and free public transit still does not accomplish what is needed to reduce congestion and put 20% of commuters on mass transit. What’s needed is a private-public partnership that provides express commuter A to B buses that utilize the highway and compete with private vehicles on time and comfort. The average 30 minute commute, each way, costs $20 a day for a basic lease, insurance, maintenance, repairs, and gas. If you could have the same commute time, but pay only $10 a day, wouldn’t you make the switch?
Unfortunately, the public transit system is unable to achieve this because of their public mandates that require equity of access, which means more bus stops, and longer commute times.
