Under the agreement, Los Angeles County will continue to finance the $58,000 project--which has been in operation since July 1, 1986--with Proposition A sales tax funds through Nov. 30. The service will continue to operate from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Friday, except on Thanksgiving.
Those needing a ride should call for a reservation 24 hours in advance; same-day service is provided subject to availability. Lift-equipped vehicles will be provided. The fare will continue to be 75 cents one way. No fare will be charged to qualified escorts of handicapped riders.
