Annual Operations Of Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority Fy 2010-11

The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) is a large, complex organization that is
involved with all aspects of moving people and goods throughout the Southern California region.

This study estimates the economic and fiscal impact of Metro operations and of expenditures funded through subsidies to other transportation services for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2011 on the fivecounty Southern California region (which includes the counties of Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino and
Ventura), the state of California, and the United States.

Metro’s economic impact derives from expenditures made by the authority itself to its vendors and its employees. This spending plus Metro’s subsidies of transit operations and transportation infrastructure throughout Los Angeles during the fiscal year exceeded $3.2 billion.

Pacific Standard Time: Art In L.A. 1945-1980

Pacific Standard Time: Art in L.A. 1945-1980, an initiative of the Getty with cultural organizations across Southern California, was a series of exhibitions featuring works of art and architecture created in Los Angeles during the postwar period. Over 60 cultural institutions and more than 70 galleries in Southern California held a variety of exhibitions over a six-month period covering a range of media and periods in a collaborative effort to document and share the birth of the art scene in Los Angeles.

The extensive nature of the exhibitions, participation and attendance contributed to the local and regional economy through the expenditures of both exhibitors and visitors. An estimated 1.8 million visitors participated at exhibitions across the region. The majority of these attendees originated from Southern
California, but visitors came from around the world.
