Metro’s community-based transit service governance councils will hold their monthly public meetings in September to discuss various transportation issues and proposed service changes in their service sectors. The proposed service changes if approved will be implemented in December. Westside/Central Council has rescheduled its meeeting to Sept. 14.

For the month of September only the Westside/Central Governance Council has rescheduled their meeting from September 8 to September 14 (see dates and locations below). In addition, the location of the  San Gabriel Valley Governance Council meeting has been changed to El Monte City Hall due to anticipated construction activity at the El Monte Station.

Residents within the service areas including the San Fernando Valley, San Gabriel Valley, the South Bay, Gateway Cities and the Westside/Central area interested in helping to improve Metro Bus service in their communities are encouraged to attend the monthly meetings.
