Disjointed Southland transit plans imperil aid
Secretary Claude Brinegar told Southern California officials that a disjointed approach to mass and rapid transit jeopardizes federal funding. He warned that 80 percent federal support is unlikely, urged regional planning, and noted Orange and Riverside Counties remain integral to the overall transit picture while RTD preparations proceed.

County Eschews Penalty on RTD Fare Subsidy Plan
A San Bernardino County plan to subsidize a 25 cent flat fare on RTD buses clears a federal hurdle after a written assurance from Transportation Secretary Claude S. Brinegar. Supervisors Hahn and Hayes push to start the subsidy with Southern California RTD and several city lines by April as a six month pilot, aiming to draw up to 9,000 riders monthly from cars to buses and secure fuel guarantees from federal authorities.
