# LA Metro Funds CicLAvia Events Through 2028

The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (LA Metro), under the leadership of Mayor Karen Bass, approved an additional **$1 million** in funding in September 2026 to support Open and Slow Streets events, including CicLAvia, through July 2028. This investment aims to enhance community engagement and bolster local businesses in preparation for the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games. LA Metro plans to seek permanent funding for these events starting in fiscal year 2028, signaling ongoing opportunities for vendors and service providers involved in event management, urban planning, and community outreach.

- **Why this matters:** This funding reflects LA Metro's commitment to active transportation and community-focused events, creating procurement opportunities in event logistics, public engagement, and infrastructure support.
- Procurement professionals should anticipate upcoming solicitations related to event services and infrastructure enhancements tied to Open Streets initiatives.
- Businesses specializing in urban mobility, event coordination, and local business support services may find increased demand leading up to and beyond the 2028 Games.
- The move toward permanent funding starting FY 2028 indicates a sustained market for vendors aligned with LA Metro's community and transportation goals.
