Tech question: are Metro agendas fully accessible to Mac users?
Posted by Steve Hymon in Technology on March 1, 2010 - 10:52 am
I haven’t been able to open links from Metro agendas using my Mac computer. I know of others who have the same problem with Macs. But we don’t know if this is a problem limited to a few of us with Macs or it’s a more widespread issue.
So I need help from Mac users. First, follow this link to open a PDF file of last week’s Metro Board agenda. Then try opening some of the links provided on the agenda.
If it works, great. If not, not-so-great — because this is a very useful feature that allows the public to access reports from Metro staff. Either way, please let me know how it goes by emailing me at hymons@metro.net. Thanks!
New Metro website debuts
Posted by Steve Hymon in Technology on February 10, 2010 - 1:09 pm
As you may have noticed by now, the redesigned Metro website is up and running. At this juncture, some elements are still being tested and there’s still some tinkering going on to ensure that the technical aspects of the site work.
We’ll have more in the next few days about the redesign. Until then, I encourage you to click around and see what you think.
Metro.net 2.0: Metro redesigns web site
Posted by Dave Sotero in Technology on November 5, 2009 - 12:39 pm
It’s been in the works for months and Metro will launch its redesigned web site later today. Call it Metro.net 2.0 — the agency’s all-out effort to employ the latest online tools to help you, the taxpayer, track your transportation investments in L.A. County.
To visit the new site, click here. That’s a screen grab above from the new site.
The agency’s goal is to make the site a 24/7 resource on all things Metro. Agency staff have rebuilt the site from the ground up. Look for major upgrades in navigation, functionality and content.
One of the first new items you’ll notice is the site’s new look and feel and greatly improved menus. There is now a set of top and side menus to quickly link you to key transportation topics. The previous version of the site was sometimes cryptic in terms of organization.
