1:08:562028 Olympics
I know there are people who are watching that closely, so thank you for that clarification. Um, I know that you also— there’s also been discussion around no-work days, and, um, 63 of the 93 days that are indicated as no-work days actually fall outside of the Olympic and Paralympic competition window.Lindsey HorvathDirector · LA Metro Board of Directors · Sep 16, 2026Open the meeting at 1:08:56

1:03:032028 OlympicsOne of the things that came to mind for me, um, first of all, the fiscal challenges are real, and that’s a huge gap, and we know that it’s not going to be an easy lift. But one of the things I did not hear was figuring in with an estimated 1.2 million additional users per day during the Olympics.
