Compared to routes serving more densely-populated areas, routes in the San Gabriel and Pomona Valleys required greater subsidies to serve fewer riders on longer freeway alignments in eastern Los Angeles County. Schabarum, annoyed by what he saw as disproportionate cutbacks of bus service by the Southern California Rapid Transit District (SCRTD) in the San Gabriel Valley, wanted to secede from the larger agency and form a separate transit agency as early as 1986. Los Angeles County Supervisor Pete Schabarum is credited with the formation of the transit agency. These representatives are divided into five geographical clusters, which each elect a representative annually to serve on a five-member Executive Board. The Foothill Transit joint powers authority membership consists of elected representatives from 22 member cities in the San Gabriel Valley and Pomona Valley and three members appointed from the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors. In 2022, the system had a ridership of 6,974,500, or about 28,000 per weekday as of the fourth quarter of 2022.įoothill Transit operates out of two yards: one in Pomona (opened in 1997), and the other in Arcadia (opened in 2002) the administrative offices moved to West Covina in 2007. It operates a fixed-route bus public transit service in the San Gabriel Valley region of eastern Los Angeles County, California, United States, as well as a rapid bus route to and from downtown Los Angeles from the El Monte Busway, and a few of it's local routes reach the far northern and western edge cities of neighboring Orange and San Bernardino counties, respectively. Foothill Transit is a public transit agency that is government funded by 22 member cities in the San Gabriel and Pomona valleys.
