SCAG Hosts Regional Transportation Demand Management and Freight Industry Forums to Prepare for the LA28 Games

In August, SCAG convened its second Regional Passenger Transportation Demand Management (TDM) Forum to share updates on planning efforts for the 2028 Summer Olympic and Paralympic Games. The forum featured partner agency updates, a presentation on TDM best practices for large-scale events, and an open discussion on next steps for developing a cohesive regional strategy. The inaugural forum in May introduced LA28’s mobility planning framework, the Games Mobility Executives (GME), and SCAG’s coordinating role in shaping the regionwide TDM approach.  

SCAG also hosted its third Regional Freight TDM Industry Forum, bringing together industry stakeholders, GME members, and regional partners to inform freight-specific TDM planning for the LA28 Games. The forum featured work plan and partner agency updates, lessons learned from the Paris 2024 Games, and key venue requirements and considerations from LA28. The first forum in November featured an industry panel and open discussion highlighting operational challenges and strategies during mega-events and expanded on SCAG’s coordinating role in preparing for the LA28 Games while maintaining supply chain fluidity across the region.
