RTD Cuts to L A Planned Amid $17 Million Deficit
Regional bus service from Southland cities to Long Beach and areas in the San Fernando and San Gabriel valleys will face major cutbacks to address a projected $17 million deficit for the next year. The June 19 changes target low patronage lines and follow earlier cuts that reduced the shortfall to about $10 million. Night and weekend service bear the deepest reductions. RTD spokesman Mike Barnes said the cuts proceed regardless of a hoped for $10 million from the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors, with further reductions possible if the goal isn’t met.
