Getting L.A. traffic moving

To help solve its traffic problem, Los Angeles needs to get 2 percent to 5 percent of vehicles off its freeways, increase discounts for bus riders and work with employers to get workers to use mass transit or let them work from home more, according to a study being released today. Daily News.

"All the easy solutions have been used," said Paul Sorenson, a researcher for Rand Corp., which spent more than a year studying local transportation problems and coming up with short-term solutions over the next five years.

The study, "Moving Los Angeles," will be available at the organization's Web site, www.rand.org.
