The election will take place at the January 4, 1995 Los Angeles County City Selection Committee meeting.

Lojeski City.of Arcadia 240 West Huntington Drive Arcadia, CA 91007 Dear Mayor Lojeski: I would appreciate your support and City vote for the San Gabriel Valley corridor alternate seat on the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) Board of Directors. The election will be held on January 4, 1996, at the regular monthly meeting of the Los Angeles County Division of the League of California Cities. Transportation is one of the services in our cites that tie us to the regional community. In recent years, positive steps have been taken to improve our existing transportation system by ` implementing more efficient ways of delivery and better planning. Gradually, we are building an integrated multi-modal system to accommodate millions of people. My continuing commitment to improved transportation for all our communities has been evident to cities involved in the former San Gabriel Valley Association of Cities, where I chaired the Transportation Committee. I presently serve as President of California Contract Cities Association, Vice President of the San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments and member of the Transportation Committee, League of California Cities. In our corridor alone, we are served by Foothill Transit, MTA, Metrolink, Montebello Bus Lines, Pomona Valley Transit and a multitude of community based transportation services. This variety of providers demonstrates the importance of transportation options. I am convinced that we can.get more people out of their cars with the right balance of bus, rail and other services. . As your representative on the MTA Board, I will seek the type of integration that not only reduces congestion, but also stimulates our local economies and fosters a cleaner environment. Transportation is vital. With your help I can serve your city, our corridor and the region in improving mobility. Sincerely,. Beatrice J.S.
