Support the 18-Hour Transit Marathon
In celebration of California Clean Air Day on October 7th, Move LA's Executive Director Eli Lipmen and other transit advocates are taking on the 18-Hour Transit Marathon across the Greater Los Angeles region - riding buses and trains from dawn to late night to celebrate public transit, engage with commuters, fight for clean air, and bring the human side of transit to our supporters online. During the Transit Marathon, riders across the region are taking to the rails and bus lines to prove that robust public transportation makes our communities healthier, happier, and more sustainable.
Why We Need Your Support Right Now
This transit marathon is more than a display of the connectivity of our transit system, it’s a direct push to fund Move LA’s year-round campaign for cleaner air, zero-emission buses, and expanded transit networks in our region. When we choose public transit, we choose a sustainable future. Every bus and train takes cars off the road, slashes greenhouse gas emissions, and moves us closer to the clean, breathable air that our neighborhoods deserve.
