The Metro Board of Directors meets Thursday at 9 a.m. at Metro headquarters adjacent to Union Station in downtown Los Angeles. The meeting agenda is above with links to Metro staff reports — I encourage everyone to scroll through it. The items — individually and in their totality — provides a pretty good glimpse of how Metro operates and spends taxpayer money.

As per usual, the meeting is open to the public. If you would like to listen online, a link to the audio stream will appear in the righthand column here as soon as the meeting begins.

I’ll also post a meeting roundup later today and tweet any highlights on Metro’s main Twitter stream.
