There’s a new transportation app in town, and it’s taking on the Los Angeles metro area, with its enormous traffic and commuting volumes.
The city of Los Angeles is introducing the Go LA app, powered by Xerox, a solution that integrates all the available methods of getting around the second largest metro area in the United States. Unlike other efforts to improve the daily commute, the Go LA app captures the universe of transportation options and computes the shortest, cheapest, and most sustainable way to get to your destination. The city of Los Angeles is piloting the app in partnership with Xerox to provide travelers with optimized transportation choices to simplify urban mobility.
"The Go LA app will help Angelenos get where they want to go by connecting smart technology with infrastructure," said Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti. "Go LA gives users the opportunity to move around in smarter, faster, cheaper, and greener ways by linking them to all the transportation options available to them -- from freeways to Metro to bike routes -- while also providing the city with useful data to help us make policy decisions that benefit residents.
