The bickering between the two agencies came to a head in the 1980s. Its main objective was to be the guardian of all transportation funding, both transit and highway, for Los Angeles County. The LACTC began operation in 1977 after a state requirement that all counties form local transportation commissions. Services outside of Los Angeles County began to be divested in the early 1980s. RTD replaced the major predecessor public agency, the Los Angeles Metropolitan Transit Authority, and took over eleven failing other bus companies and services in the Southern California region. The RTD was founded on August 18, 1964, to operate most public transportation in the urbanized Southern California region, including Los Angeles, San Bernardino, Orange, and Riverside counties. The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority was formed on February 1, 1993, by the California State Legislature which merged two rival agencies: the Southern California Rapid Transit District (SCRTD or more often, RTD) and the Los Angeles County Transportation Commission (LACTC).

In 2022, the system had a total ridership of 255,250,500 and had a ridership of 820,300 per weekday as of the fourth quarter of 2022. Metro also provides funding and directs planning for railroad and highway projects within Los Angeles County. The agency directly operates a large transit system that includes bus, light rail, heavy rail (subway), and bus rapid transit services and provides funding for transit it does not operate, including Metrolink commuter rail, municipal bus operators and paratransit services. The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority ( LACMTA), branded as Metro, is the state agency that plans, operates, and coordinates funding for most of the public transportation system in Los Angeles County, California, the most populated county in the United States. ![]()
