The Region : Light-Rail Line Study OKd
- Share via
County transportation planners are launching a $300,000 study on the feasibility of installing a light-rail line to parallel the transit corridor outlined by San Bernardino and Pomona freeways.
“This will be an important step toward bringing rail transit to a major portion of eastern Los Angeles County,” Supervisor Deane Dana said of the study, as he announced that three supervisorial districts will provide $25,000 to help pay for it.
Eight cities involved in the project--Whittier, Alhambra, Commerce, El Monte, South El Monte, Los Angeles, Montebello and San Gabriel--will supply $75,000.
Most of the funds will come from the Los Angeles Transportation Commission.
