"Metro Quarterly is the agency's award-winning magazine. The mailing list is comprised of transportation 'thought leaders': elected officials at the local, state and federal level, public transit advocates, planners and policymakers, employer transportation coordinators and transit professionals, Each issue features a themed story: technology advancements, the opening of a new rail line or, in this summer issue, Los Angeles destinations. We always explore five-to-ten options for each cover, and interior stories extend the visual language of the chosen direction. In this case, the bold striping on the cover mimics the design of our Day Pass fare media, which is featured inside as the easy and economical way to explore Los Angeles via Metro."
