"As Project Director of the Surface Transit Project, an effort focused on exploring affordable alternatives to serve the mass transit needs of Los Angeles residents, Martha Welborne is well-versed on the ins and outs of L.A.'s often convoluted transit system. Welborne was also responsible for introducing the Curitiba-style Rapid Bus routes a year ago--lines that so far have shown incredible success for the agency and its riders. So when the MTA released its draft Long Range Transportation Plan this month, [the Metro Investment Report] was more than pleased to get Martha's take."
