Business France North America, a recurring partner of NextMove, has partnered with the City Hall of Los Angeles and officials of the metropolis of Los Angeles for the French Mobility Days @ LA JO 2028 taking place from 12 to 15 November 2024.

• Discover the trends and business opportunities in US public transport and meet key players (public and private) at the CoMotion 2024 event;

Why Los Angeles?

• 2nd largest city in the United States
• 3.9M of intramural inhabitants and 12.5M in its periphery
• 270M of passengers in 2023 (+6.6%)
• 79bd$: domestic transport market size
• 108bn$ invested nationally through the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act

The city is preparing to host millions of international spectators for the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games. Officials confirmed that the city is experiencing delays in its preparations, including for public transportation, and plans to use the 2026 FIFA World Cup, also taking place in Los Angeles, to test new transportation solutions.

In April 2024, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass announced nearly $900 million in federal funding** to improve transportation infrastructure for the 2028 Games. These funds come on top of the Biden-Harris administration’s historic investments under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, which authorizes up to $108 billion for public transit** across the United States, making it the largest federal investment in American history.
