FAST MISSION

FAST is a non-profit organization dedicated to designing and supporting the implementation of short-term strategies to reduce traffic congestion in Los Angeles by optimizing current transit infrastructure and facilitating use of public transit in order to improve our quality of life.

Seeking solutions to Los Angeles' traffic crisis, James A. Thomas, Chairman, President and CEO of Thomas Properties Group, and Chairman of FAST, along with Metro and the Music Center, co-sponsored a RAND study on short-term strategies for improved mobility.

RAND evaluated a wide range of options, including the world's best policies and practices, and studied their applicability to Los Angeles County. Solutions reported by RAND and supported by FAST can be implemented within three to five years without significant net capital outlays or major new infrastructure development.
