The purpose of the public outreach program during construction of the Expo Line project is to minimize construction impacts by working closely with stakeholders along the light rail alignment to ensure that their issues and concerns are addressed.  Keeping the public, elected officials, major stakeholders and the media apprised of the construction schedule and progress is a key component of our outreach effort.

Government / Community Relations Staff
The Government/Community Relations staff is committed to addressing the needs of the community.  They are the link between stakeholders, contractors, engineers and elected officials as it relates to the Expo Line project and are committed to providing proactive solutions to address construction-related issues and concerns.

EXPO HOTLINE

During business hours, Expo staff is available to respond to inquiries via phone and email.  For situations that arise after hours, Expo has established a 24-hour hotline where emergencies/complaints can be called in immediately. An on-call community relations representative monitors the hotline at all times, which allows the caller to receive personalized attention and have emergencies addressed immediately. 

Expo Hotline:  213-922-EXPO (3976)

Project Updates

It is the goal of Expo’s Government/Community Relations team to establish positive relations within the impacted communities in an effort to be a good neighbor.  Government/Community Relations staff meets regularly with stakeholders to provide updates on design progress and construction activities. Dates and locations of upcoming meetings will be posted on our website.

EXPO Phase 2

On February 4, 2010, the Exposition Construction Authority Board of Directors certified the Expo Phase 2 FEIR under the California Environmental Quality Act. The FEIR represents the final environmental document regarding Expo Phase 2. As a result of the Board's approval, engineering and design work will commence and elements of construction may begin in late 2010.
