It’s official. The South Bay Cities Council of Governments (SBCCOG) recently received notice from the United States Patent and Trademark Office that the South Bay Local Travel Network (LTN) “rolling turtle” logo is trademarked and can now display the (®).
The LTN is a network of existing low-speed streets designed by the SBCCOG to inform motorists when they are sharing the road with e-bikes, pedal bikes, neighborhood electric vehicles (NEVs), scooters and other zero-emission, low-speed vehicles known as micromobility. The logo’s signature rolling turtle design was selected to communicate that when trips are local, “slow is the way to go.”
The network launched in 2023 in El Segundo and soon will arrive in Redondo Beach, Lomita and Carson. When fully developed, a 243-mile route will eventually connect the entire South Bay. •
