Los Angeles plans to encourage remote work and non-standard working hours to prevent traffic chaos during the 2028 Summer Olympics, the city’s mayor said on Saturday.

In a news conference in Paris ahead of Sunday’s closing ceremony, Karen Bass reiterated plans for a “no car” Olympics, in which spectators will use public transportation to reach venues across the sprawling metropolis.
