Southern California Transit Advocates

Contributed by Fred Camino on June 8th, 2006 at 4:00 pm

Today I came across the website of the Southern California Transit Advocates (SO.CA.TA), an organization dedicated to the future of public transit in the Southern California region. They support a number of ideals that I agree with (although I also support underground rail, something they are against due to the expense) and overall seem like a very well informed group. Admitedly the website design is somewhat lacking, but this seems to be something of a trend among transit websites in general. But the content is there, which automatically makes it 100 times better than MTA’s aesthetically pleasing but functionally challenged website. I plan on joining and attending some of the meetings, and you should to!

  2. SO.CA.TA is the “real” pro-transit group in L.A., but I do not agree with their anti-underground rail positions. The public wants a subway to the beach, but the politicans and even the transit advocates are way behind. If advocates will not advocate for the obvious, who will ?

  3. Socata is not so much anti-rail as it is very cautious. Socata accomplishes a lot, but it does it without the bombast of the BRU.

    The Transit Coalition, on the other hand, has more proposals than realistic chances to get them built.
