The L.A. Department of Transportation is trying out universal basic mobility — a program giving South L.A. residents cheaper, cleaner options for getting around. Here’s what you need to know:
The LA CleanTech Incubator and Los Angeles Trade Technical College will offer workforce training to community members seeking work as EV technicians. According to the LADOT, “participants will receive training in technical areas and interpersonal skills, and industry-recognized certifications to succeed in the green economy.”
“Transportation tends to be the reason why people are not living lives that they want,” Reynolds said. “They can’t get reliable and affordable access to get to the doctor’s office, or they don’t feel comfortable letting their kids walk down the street to the park without having parental supervision because they’re worried about cars and safety. Or they can’t get to their jobs on time consistently because they don’t have access to credit and they can’t afford a car.
The city of L.A. added $4 million to the board’s contribution, giving the project a budget of nearly $18 million.Residents of Drumm Avenue in Wilmington say truck traffic from the Port of Los Angeles makes them miserable. Oscar Zarate, an organizer with Strategic Actions for a Just Economy, welcomed the new transportation resources, which he said can bring much needed relief for working class people in South L.A., especially as its neighborhoods are recovering economically from the effects of the pandemic.
