Thank you for joining us for G Line 2.0 the podcast for small and disabled veteran businesses seeking opportunities on the LA Metro G Line Bus Rapid Transit Improvements project. We are Valley Transit Partners, a joint venture of Stacy and Witbeck, Flatiron West, and Modern Railway Systems.

The G Line is an existing bus route within a dedicated corridor running through the San Fernando Valley.  It extends from the North Hollywood B-Line station to the Chatsworth Metrolink Station in the northwest of the valley.  

The G-Line BRT Improvements Project will improve the existing Bus Rapid Transit system by reducing travel times and improving safety.  The project is being delivered via progressive design-build and is currently in the first phase, which is great news because the most significant subcontracting opportunities are still to come.

Today we welcome special guest Mark Penn, with DEOD at LA Metro. Mark shares with us his role, resources available to small businesses and the community, and goals for the project.
