LOS ANGELES COUNTY : MTA to Close Service Centers, Cut Phone Hours
The county transit agency has announced that it will reduce the operating hours of its telephone information center and close two customer service centers in an effort to cut costs.
The moves are aimed at helping the Metropolitan Transportation Authority reduce a projected budget deficit of $97.6 million anticipated in fiscal year 1996, said MTA Chief Executive Officer Franklin White.
Effective Sunday, the new hours of operation for MTA’s Telephone Information Center will be 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. weekdays and 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. on weekends. The telephone information center will continue to be closed on holidays.
The closure of the El Monte Customer Service Center at 3501 Santa Anita Ave. and the California Mart Center, 1016 S. Main St. in Los Angeles, will be effective June 10.
