b. That the demand responsive concept be tested
in a community where such service presently
exists rather than incurring the greater costs
of testing the concept in new areas.

Anita Race Track use major arterials only, and
not secondary arterials or collector streets
within the City of Arcadia.
d. That once the bus service improvements are
implemented, prepare and distribute to the
public informational-Brochures which~ontain all
of the routes, stops, schedules, etc. within the

District (SCRTD) continue to support local
transit systems which complement the SCRTD system.
SECTION 3. That a certified copy of this Resolution shall
