Do you Flip?

Flip video that is! We at OCTA produce weekly short video clips, called "Transportation in 2", to highlight transportation projects throughout the county.

The Flip video camera is easy to use and we can edit all of our videos on the Mac using iMovie. Our latest video is from Metrolink's unveiling of the new Crash Energy Management (CEM) rail cars that passengers will soon be able to use.



But check out this online story by Lawrence Ragan Communications, Inc., that demonstrates how three nonprofit agencies (OCTA included) use the Flip for a variety of topics.

So...do you? Let me know where I can see your videos and learn more about what you Flip!

Visit our YouTube page to view other OCTA videos, or Tin2's as I like to call them.

PubComm Team Explores L.A.

OCTA’s Public Communications department recently visited Los Angeles and I wanted to share some of the highlights of our trip. I’ve made my way up to L.A. a number of times in the past for meetings, family trips and sporting events…but this was unlike any other excursion because it was all transit related! Needless to say, I felt like a kid in a candy store.


Catching up with some gals from our department, naturally,
we rode Metrolink to our destination.


Touring Union Station.


I had to include this picture, I just think it looks so cool!

Figuring out the Red Line to get to Pershing Square.

Riding the Angels Flight Railway
(literally the shortest railway in the world)...

and making it to the top for only 25 cents!
