Metro is launching a Community Working Group (CWG) to guide the implementation of the Long Beach–East Los Angeles Corridor Mobility Investment Plan (LB–ELA CMIP)—a transformative effort to improve air quality, expand mobility options, and support healthier communities across the corridor. 

We’re looking for residents across the LB-ELA Corridor who can serve as CWG members to guide project implementation, ensuring community priorities like equity, health, mobility, and opportunity remain central. Applicants with strong community ties—such as residents, young people, seniors, those living near 710 Freeway or ports—are especially encouraged to apply. 

The CWG will: 

• Provide feedback and guidance on prioritizing Community Programs and defining their impacts and benefits. 
• Serve as a bridge between Metro and local communities by sharing updates and bringing input back to the Metro team. 
• Meet regularly through a two-year commitment with compensation for participation. 
• Collaborate with Technical Working Groups (TWGs) to align technical decisions with community perspectives. 

The Application is open Monday, October 6 through Friday, November 14, 2025, and is available in English or Spanish. 

• Selected members will be notified in December 2025. 
• CWG Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) are also available in English and Spanish to help answer questions about the process.

Please feel free to reach out to me or email the project at 710corridor@metro.net if you have any questions.  

Thank you for your leadership and for working with Metro to build a cleaner, healthier, and more connected future for the LB–ELA Corridor. 

With sincere gratitude
