Metro Ops Cmte mtg: now on COO report - Cheung notes that ridership is rebounding - higher on bus than rail - says May has been good month. Notes that cancelations are low (hovering at the low end of 1-3% - [still higher than 1% pre-COVID])
Report on elevators and escalators - Metro has picked up elevator floor replacement and corrosion repairs - to improve reliability. CEO Wiggins says Regional Connector is opening soon - and relies a lot on elevators [some deeper downtown stations]
@HollyJMitchell says regarding cancellations, we've come a long way - but still have room to improve. Cheung notes that Metro has 400 new operators in the pipeline.
COO report received and filed.
And that's all for this week's live-tweeeting of Metro board committee meetings. SBLA Metro #meetingtweeting returns next Thursday at 10am when the full board meets - and is expected to approve the agency's $9B FY23-24 budget.

Metro Exec Mgmt Cmte meeting: on Express Lanes item - making the ride-now pay-later program (called pay-as-you-go). $25 fine goes to an $8 processing fee.
@SupJaniceHahn expresses support for charging a $4 processing fee, instead of the staff-recommended $8. Also questions CHP enforcement contract.
Extended discussion of ExpressLanes… it’s fascinating that the boardmembers (Hahn, Solis, Najarian) are much more personally engaged in ExpressLanes (less so with bus, rail)

@LADOTofficial No, LADOT - hundreds of deaths every year (309 deaths in 2022) is a systemic, not an individual problem.
No, LADOT, "each of us" didn't design L.A.'s deadly streets... LADOT designed these streets. And designed them to kill hundreds of people every year.
