As cities across Southern California struggle to deal housing a growing homeless population, LA Metro has given the greenlight Thursday to look into providing additional services for those living on the streets.
The plan includes the installation of mobile showers at selected subway stations, install public restrooms at all new rail stations.
Recently, LA Metro started a program in which social workers are dispatched to ride the Red Line and provide outreach to homeless individuals.
