Here's Metro's press release, doesn't look like it has been reported on Metro's blog yet:

Quote:
The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) has received an unsolicited proposal from AECOM and John Laing, to bring advanced cutting-edge mobility technologies and next generation bus rapid transit to the Vermont Avenue Transit Corridor through a public-private partnership (P3).
Additionally, the proposal could result in early delivery of this critical Measure M project. This is the first proposal Metro has received for this Measure M project and the 11th proposing an alternative delivery method for a major capital project.
