- Share via
A coalition of business leaders has been formed to share ideas for reducing traffic congestion near Los Angeles International Airport.
Mayor Tom Bradley and Councilwoman Ruth Galanter, who represents the area, announced the creation of the Transportation Management Assn. at a press conference Wednesday near the airport.
Working under the auspices of the Westchester/LAX Chamber of Commerce, 35 employers will begin their effort with a one-person staff and a first-year budget of $90,000, half of which will come from a federal grant. The business leaders said they will explore plans such as allowing employees of small companies to use ride-sharing programs offered by larger firms.
Bradley called the coalition “a creative way to manage traffic by using the resources of the private and public sector together.”
