Over the past several months, the City's Transportation Working Group (comprised of a
City Council representative, Planning Commissioner, Traffic Commissioner, and staff)
developed recommendations to enhance the fixed route portion of the transportation
system. These enhancements are designed to expand operating times for the Explorer
Service and also provide a "Commuter Connection" to the local El Monte - transit Center
and Metrolink Station. All enhancements would be funded using transportation
