The MTA (Metropolitan Transit Authority) is proposing changes to Metro bus service that, if adopted, would become effective in June 2008 or later. Metro will hold a total of seven public hearings throughout Los Angeles County, including one at Metro Headquarters, between Wednesday, February 6 and Thursday, February 14 to receive community input. The schedule of public hearings is available on the MTA website, www.metro.net .
The proposed changes are also posted on the Metro web site at www.metro.net . Service change brochures will also be available on Metro buses and rail cars as well as at Metro customer centers. Metro Brief ads in over 100 community newspapers will draw attention to the public hearings.
Metro has also published a Notice of Intent of public hearing for service changes in several newspapers including the Los Angeles Times, Chinese Daily News, Rafu Shimpo, Korea Times, LA Sentinel, La Opinion and San Gabriel Valley Tribune. In addition the Notice of Intent is scheduled to be published in this Thursday's January 17th editions of the Inglewood News, Inglewood Today, California Crusader News (Inglewood) and Random Lengths (Harbor Area Independent News).
Persons unable to attend the hearings may submit written testimony postmarked through February 14, 2008, the close of public record. All written testimony should be addressed to Metro Customer Relations, One Gateway Plaza, 99PL4, Los Angeles, Ca 90012-2932, Attn: June 2008 Service Changes.
In addition, comments can be e-mailed with the subject line “June 2008 Service Changes” to customerrelations@metro.net or faxed to (213) 922-6988.
These proposed service modifications will be approved in whole, or in part, at a date following the public hearings. Approved changes may also include other alternatives derived from public comment. Metro encourages members of the public to attend the upcoming public hearings and provide testimony on any service change proposal regardless of the service sector providing the service or the geographic area.
If you have any questions, please contact Helen Valenzuela at 213.922.7175 or at valenzuelah@metro.net.
