A Day in the life of Jared at L.A. Metro

Welcome to the program of "A Day in the Life." I'm Jared and on this 40 plus minute podcast, I take you through March's report of accessibility observations.

In no way am I saying that the ssystem is perfect, because you'll see that in February, I highlight issues with trains which I did not observe in March.

I want to hear from you, the listener. Especially if your trips are 90 percent or higher as defined by Metro's standards.

This means that the majority of trips must have things as perfect as possible. There is room for error, but 90 percent seems to be the baseline.

In March, 19 out of 38 trips had the requirements of being successful. That's a 50 percent success rate, about 40 percent failure and 10 percent of unknown value. This is because the data I'm observing could not be validated due to different factors.

Send Email, send me a text, or even give me a call. Let's talk.

Welcome to another edtion of the podcast, I'm Jared Rimer. This time, "A Day in the life" talks about the Metro Calendar that covers events in April. We do branch in to May and beyond as we look ahead to major events like the World Cup and other events this summer.

Would you like to get your hands on the calendar? Just use this link to go to the Metro calendar. We look forward in seeing you on another edtion of the podcast coming soon!

Welcome to "A Day in the Life" with Jared, and I'm Jared. On this edition of the podcast, we want to announce that we are publishing the podcast number for Ben's memorial.

If you want to hear the entire program, and or you want to keep it, Email us at metro at jaredrimer dot com (replace with symbols) and let me know you want Ben's podcast which is podcast 45 of this series.

Just as a reminder, the reason we don't do podcast numbers for this cast is because there may be a lot that we are working with, and may release more critical items first instead of everything in order.

This is one such podcast. The San Fernando Service Council and other meeting things need to be sent first, while this podcast is important, it isn't critical it get out the same day it gets recorded.

I hope that everyone enjoys the board update, which is the main topic for this program where we recap the biggest item we've got, recap my public comments, as well as talk about the atmosphere of how everyone was.

See you on another edition of the program coming soon. Stay well!

On this edition of the program, we talk about the San Fernando Service Council and its meeting coming up on April 1, 2026.

The biggest item will be a listening session dealing with a topic and an ad hoc committee that is tasked to talk about the composition of the board.

This doesn't mean work is final, but the item is a listening session.

We have plenty more still coming, so stay tuned. Thanks so much for listening, make it a great day!

Welcome to a day in the life of Jared, I'm Jared. On this episode, we are paying tribute to one of the AAC fomer members, Ben Rockwell.

Ben was born in 1945 and died in December 2025. We were notified on December 22, 2025 and the memorial was on Sunday, March 22, 2026.

The podcast itself covers his life as I knew it, the journey to Long Beach where we met up with our very own Cynde Soto, member of the AAC. After we take you through the Long Beach Loop, I give you my thoughts on the service, play one of Ben's favorites as well as one very impactful piece of my choice that I played in a different podcast of a similar nature.

Here is a link to our prior coverage of Ben's passing.

Did you happen to know when I started with the AAC, Ben took chairship? It is a memory of the past. Enjoy this program and we'll be back with more on a day in the life very soon.

Welcome folks to the podcast. We present the board agenda package. I know we're late and I knew that would be the case, but even though we had commitments and I was sick, I want to at least try to get info out even though its past the time for public comment to be emailed in.

You may do so, but the board may still receive it even if decisions are passed.

I have more podcasts coming soon, and we thank you so much for listening!

Running time: 2 hrs 23 mins.

Its time for us to disclose the agenda for the operations meeting being done on Thursday this week.
