WHEREAS, the twenty-nine 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 seventeen percent
(17Z) of the Los Angeles County population, and receive only ten percent
(10%) of the Southern California Rapid Transit District's daily service,
and only seven percent (7Z) of the dollars expended by the Southern
California Rapid Transit District; and
WHEREAS, the Southern California Rapid Transit District is facing
serious constraints on their local and federal o.perating assistance which
will cause fares to rise to eighty-five cents ($0.85) and as many as two
hundred buses to be cut from service; and
WHEREAS, the Southern California Rapid Transit District'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 with the
zone.
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT the City Council of the City of
West Covina supports the formation of a Transportation Zone Steering
Committee in order to prepare an organization agreement along with a
detailed plan for the phased implementation, operation and financing of a
transportation zone in the twenty-nine cities of the San Gabriel and Pomona
