A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF
THE CITY OF BALWIN PARK SUPPORTING
THE CONCEPT OF A TRANSPORTATION ZONE
FOR THE SAN GABRIEL VALLEY
WHEREAS, the 29 cities of the San Gabriel and Pomona Valleys share
a cannon 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 only 7%
of the dollars expended by RTD; and
WHEREAS, RTD has raised fares and reduced services effective
July 1 due to cutbacks in its local operating assistance; and
WHEREAS, RTD's labor contract forbids its use of lower cost private
operators in order to preserve service and save its scarce operating funds;
and
WHEREAS, the Los Angeles County Transportation Commission has the
ability to create transportation zones with subregional authority for
managing transportation operations within the zone.
NCW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City
of Baldwin Park supports, in concept, the development of a transportation
zone in the San Gabriel and Pomona Valleys and the formation of a
Transportation Zone Steering Committee comprised of five members: two
Councilmembers selected by the cities within the proposed zone, two members
determined by the Supervisors representing those cities, and the Corridor
D" City Selection Cornnittee representative to the SCRTD Board.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, however, that 1) significant questions
must be answered before the affected cities can determine the desirability
of a transportation zone; 2) those issues include the amount of local
return funds that the Los Angeles County Transportation Commission would
require from the cities and whether monies saved by the proposed program
will remain in the San Gabriel Valley; 3) such issues must be resolved
before the proposed Steering Committee can prepare an organization
agreement and detailed plan for the phased implementation, operation and
financing of the transportation zone; and 4) the City of Baldwin Park
vrould not support participating in a program that required a contribution
of the cities' local return funds in addition to a guarantee of significant
program cost savings.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Clerk shall certify to the
adoption of this Resolution. 7
APPROVED and ADOPTED this 3rd day of July//i985.
