洛杉矶 Metro 局长获四年续约 董事会11比0通过 将领军迎世界杯与奥运会
洛杉矶——位于加州洛杉矶县的洛杉矶市，洛杉矶县都会交通局（Metro）董事会本周四以11票对0票一致通过决议，将首席执行官 Stephanie Wiggins 的合同延长四年，她的年薪将升至近51.1万美元。Wiggins 将由此带领这家交通机构，接连迎接2026年世界杯与2028年洛杉矶夏季奥运会两项世界级赛事。
Metro 董事会主席、洛杉矶县监事 Janice Hahn 表示，在这两项赛事考验全县交通系统之际，保持领导层的连续性至关重要，Metro 正努力把本届奥运会办成以公共交通为先的一届。董事会认为，Wiggins 需要留任并兑现机构的承诺，包括增派公交车、延长列车运行时间，帮助运动员与观众往返各场馆、缓解高速公路拥堵。
过去一年，Metro 曾因列车与公交车上发生的枪击、持刀伤人与公交车劫持等事件受到批评，客流一度受影响。Wiggins 采取的措施包括增派交通安保人员、加强票款查验、为公交车驾驶员安装防护隔板、增加保洁人员、维修车站电梯，并增设 Metro 交通大使。她今年3月报告称，全系统客流增长逾2%，为连续第28个月增长。

LA Metro CEO Wins Four-Year Extension in 11-0 Board Vote, to Lead Through World Cup and Olympics
LOS ANGELES — Los Angeles is a city in Los Angeles County, California. The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) board voted 11-0 on Thursday to extend Chief Executive Officer Stephanie Wiggins' contract by four years, raising her annual salary to nearly $511,000. The extension keeps Wiggins at the helm as the agency prepares for two global events: the 2026 FIFA World Cup and the 2028 Los Angeles Summer Olympics.
Metro Board Chair and Los Angeles County Supervisor Janice Hahn said continuity of leadership is important as the events test the county's transit system, and that Metro is working to deliver a 'transit-first' Games. Board members said Wiggins should stay to deliver on the agency's promises, including more buses and extended train hours to move athletes and spectators between venues while easing freeway traffic.
Metro faced criticism over the past year after shootings, stabbings and a bus hijacking kept some riders away. Wiggins responded with more transit security officers, stronger fare enforcement, protective enclosures for bus drivers, more cleaning crews, station elevator repairs and additional Metro Transit Ambassadors. In March she reported ridership up just over 2 percent, a 28th straight month of growth.
