A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY

RELATED TO THE FORMATION OF A TRANSPORTATION
ZONE FOR THE SAN GABRIEL AND POMONA VALLEYS
WHEREAS, the 29 cities of the San Gabriel and Pomona Valleys
share a common goal of improving the mobility for their residents
within and beyond their boundaries; and
WHEREAS, these cities currently account for 17% of the Los
Angeles County population, and receive only 10% of RTD's daily
service and receive only 7% of the dollars expended by RTD; and
WHEREAS, the RTD is facing serious constraints on their local
and federal operating assistance which has caused fares to rise to
85~ and as many as 200 buses to be cut from service; and
WHEREAS, RTD's labor contract forbids their use of lower
cost private operators in order to preserve service and save their
scarce operating funds; and
WHEREAS, the Los Angeles County Transportation Commission
has for many years had the ability to create transportation zones
with subregional authority for managing transportation operations
within the zone.

CALIFORNIA, DOES HEREBY RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
