Funding Continues for the Palos Verdes Peninsula Transit Authority Shuttle Service

The Board of Supervisors approved the disbursement of $408,200 to the Palos Verdes Peninsula Transit Authority to continue public transit services for the Fiscal Year 2007-2008, Supervisor Don Knabe announced today.

The funds for the disbursement come from the Fourth Supervisorial District's allocation of Proposition A Local Return Transit Program funds.

"This shuttle service on the Palos Verdes Peninsula has been very successful throughout the years,” said Supervisor Knabe. “The allocation of these funds will aid many students and seniors on the Peninsula who need an effective way of getting around."

The shuttle will continue to operate Monday through Friday from 6:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. The fare is $2 per person, per one-way trip. A $560 annual pass, a $80 monthly pass and a $280 semester student pass are also available.
