LA DOT POD

A series of podcasts highlighting interviews with LADOT staff, past, present and future.


Continuing with the LA DOT POD series, this podcast focuses on retired LADOT engineer Martha Stephenson whose history is really the history of the City agency. Alan Nakagawa had the opportunity to sit down with her in her amazing garden to talk about her history and the history of LADOT.

Scott Schultz has dedicated his time, storytelling talents, stand up experience, news media pedigree and Los Angeles residency to the unique and colorful stories of LA’s bus riding culture. BUSted is a webcast about bus riding culture in Los Angeles. Facebook | YouTube

 


Another episode of LA DOT POD with long time LADOT veteran, John Fisher. John is partly a historian and has contributed a large amount of history on the LADOT website: ladot.lacity.org/what-we-do/about-us/history

In this edition of LA DOT POD, we have excerpts from an oral history session with Seleta Reynolds, the General Manager of LADOT.

LA DOT POD presents an intimate discussion about Los Angeles with former LADOT GM, Frankee Banerjee.

LA DOT POD is proud to present an edited version of an oral history session with Aram Sahakian, who was on staff for LADOT over two and a half decades.

Overwhelmed by the community grieving last night in Redondo Beach. Ciara was 13, hit by a bus at Knob Hill and PCH. Her friends helped us paint the ghost bike.

We've launched a new safety campaign all around the city to remind drivers that at high speeds, even a good driver's car can be deadly. Stay safe on the roads!
