With nearly $10 billion in construction under way or approved, the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) is moving full speed ahead with a number of projects to meet the growing travel demands of the 9.6 million people living within its 1,433-sq-mile service area.
To keep such a large volume of work on time and within budget, the agency relies on open communications with its contractors and proven project delivery systems such as design-build. Because of its ability to efficiently meet public infrastructure needs, Metro was chosen as ENR California's Owner of the Year.
