70 years ago the LA Railway hired Arcola Philpott as its 1st Black female streetcar operator. It followed months of wrangling & an order from the Fair Employment Practices Commission to hire African Americans. Today’s @metrolosangeles employs scores of female workers.

Baseball season may be over, but @METROHouston kept the @Astros celebration going by taking tens of thousands of fans to the World Series #AstrosParade . The 105K METRORail trips resulted in Metro’s third-highest single-day rail ridership.
