April 11, 2000 YAROSLAVSKY ANNOUNCES HOLLYWOOD BOWL SUMMER PARK AND RIDE SHUTTLE SERVICE Supervisor Zev Yaroslavsky has announced that the Board of Supervisors this week approved the continuation of the program for park-and-ride and shuttle service to the Hollywood Bowl from 15 area parking lots throughout the County for the 2000 summer season. "I invite all concertgoers to take full advantage of the public transportation available for these performances, so we can ease traffic congestion near the Bowl, conserve energy and cut down air pollution," Yaroslavsky said. Yaroslavsky noted that the Board-approved program to ease traffic congestion and provide low-cost transportation for residents of the County to the Hollywood Bowl was launched 26 summers ago. Yaroslavsky noted that fares will remain $2.50 per person each way for the park-and-ride service and $2.50 round trip for the shuttle service from remote lots, while parking at the lots themselves is free. Both park-and-ride and shuttle lots will be protected by a uniformed Los Angeles Philharmonic Association guard. Last year, nearly 28% of those attending the Bowl utilized the transportation service. Yaroslavsky said that the program is funded in part by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, and in part by shuttle fares. Program costs over and above this funding, estimated at approximately $473,000, will come from the County Department of Public Works. These shuttle lots have been selected for the Third District:
Ventura Lot Annex 10601 Ventura Blvd.
