Foothill Transit
Foothill Transit was established in 1988. This innovative public/private partnership serves over 16 million passengers in the San Gabriel and Pomona valleys annually. It is the second largest fixed route system in Los Angeles County, operating 259 buses and covering 327 square miles.

Foothill Transit was recognized by the American Public Transit Association (APTA) as the "Outstanding Transit System" of its size. APTA has also recognized Foothill Transit with a "Bus Safety Award," and the National Safety Council of Greater Los Angeles has awarded Foothill Transit its First Place Sweepstakes on three occasions.

Sunline Transit
The Sunline Transit Agency, serving the Coachella Valley, is a worldleader in using and developing alternative fuel sources. They started in 1994 by becoming the first public transit system in the country to convert its entire fleet to Compressed Natural Gas (CNG). This meant that Sunline had to jump in with both feet. They worked with the College of the Desert to establish a CNG training curriculum for mechanics and opened up the first 24-hour public CNG fueling station. This has led the way for their involvement with several advanced fuel research projects with groups including the Department of Defense and the Schatz Energy Research Center.

Sunline Transit continues to lead the way in alternative fuels. Their streetsweepers are all CNG powered. They just introduced the desert’s first CNG powered taxi, operated by Ace Taxi, and set up a CNG fueling station at Waste Management of the Desert to fuel the fleet of trash trucks. They also provide CNG to the United States Postal Service to power their fleet of 190 CNG-powered vehicles. In addition, they have installed power in their bus shelters and are investigating hydrogen fuel-cell-powered and electric transportation.
