December 20, 2000 YAROSLAVSKY ANNOUNCES RENEWAL OF HOLLYWOOD BOWL SHUTTLE PROGRAM 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 2001 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 27 summers ago. Riders will be charged $2.50 each way from remote lots and $3.00 round trip from nearby parking lots, while parking at the lots is free. Last year, Yaroslavsky said, almost 30 percent of the people attending Bowl programs used the shuttle service. Each park-and-ride and shuttle lot will be protected by a uniformed Los Angeles Philharmonic guard. 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 to be approximately $520,000, will come from the County Department of Public Works. Three shuttle lots have been selected:
