Seleta joins Ratna to talk about some of the exciting projects Los Angeles Metro is working on and Seleta’s mission to make public transit accessible in Los Angeles.
"The scarcity mindset [makes us think that] if we make it easier for other folks to get into the door, there will be less for the people who are already inside. And I have seen over and over again, the opposite is true. When you open the door wider, the room gets bigger, and everybody benefits."
Prior to her current role, Seleta served as the General Manager for the Los Angeles Department of Transportation. Among her accomplishments were the nation’s largest electric vehicle carshare program and the nation’s largest universal basic mobility plan pilot. Previously, she served at the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency, leading the Livable Streets Unit.
She has published four articles in Forbes magazine and a key article in the Eno Center for Transportation regarding the adaptation of Los Angeles for Urban Mobility in our Digital Age. She earned a Bachelor of Arts in American History from Brown University.
Host Ratna Amin sits down with Chief Innovation Officer at Los Angeles Metro, Seleta Reynolds, to talk about how her team is making LA Transportation more accessible for all.
