metro.net zoominfo.com/c/metro/351518795 LA Metro is the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (LACMTA) — the second-busiest transit system in the US, serving 9.6M residents across 1,433 sq miles (nearly a third of California's population), founded in 1993 by merging SCRTD and LACTC. Its network: 125+ miles of rail (2 subway + 4 light-rail lines, 110 stations), 117 bus lines, 2 BRT corridors, 2,000+ low-emission buses and the Metro Micro on-demand service — moving ~925,000 weekday boardings and 305.7M riders in 2025 (9 straight months of growth, +9% YoY, 87% satisfaction). It's run by a 13-member board (5 county supervisors + the LA mayor's bloc, chaired politically by Mayor Karen Bass) and led by CEO Stephanie Wiggins — the first woman and first African American to head the agency — with a $9.7B FY2026-27 budget and a $26B capital program, the largest rail construction program in the US.

Not assessable
Evidence ladder
Attacker assertion only. Establishes: claim date, group, alleged victim.
Unlocks: incident narrative, operational impact. Still no compliance clock.
Unlocks: discovery date, data types, affected count, compliance clock.
Unlocks: materiality, stated response, full audit trail. Ceiling removed.
No regulatory filing corroborates this yet — it is the attacker's own assertion. Watch this entity to be notified the moment a filing corroborates or contradicts it.
