Talk:San Gabriel Valley Transit Authority

Research

The SGVTA is or was a real organisation. A websearch via Google will point to several relevant articles from the usual news media sources, as well as to the SGVTA itself, variously at sgvta.org, .gov, and .us. An image search will pick up a SGVTA logo. None of these sites however are directly accessible at present; Google's cache will extract the text for the main site, while archive.org can't seem to find anything. knoodelhed 17:52, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

A look at news sources online will reveal heavy current suspicion of, and investigation into, the SGVTA being a front organization for organized crime. http://www.gamerevolution.com/features/gizmondo_bizarro for a good, complete description of the situation. lemboy4 2:17, 4 Dec 2006 (UTC)

Calls to the staff who oversee dial-a-ride service in Sierra Madre and Monorovia comfirmed that SGVTA, contrary to claims it made to the media, never had MOUs with the cities and basoically just operated on its own. I updated the entry to reflect this.

Copies of the EXECUTED MOU's are fully referenced under FN's 8 & 9. A quick review of those documents demonstrates that BOTH MOU's were approved by the city councils of both Sierra Madre and Monrovia. A "call" to dial-a-ride is the wrong entity to verify the legitimacy of the MOU's as SGVTA did not operate under dial-a-ride. A simple public records request and a review of the city council meetings at the time the MOU's were executed demonstrates that the MOU's were approved by the city council of each municipality and executed by the city clerk and mayor of Monrovia and the mayor of Sierra Madre in compliance with the city council's voice vote approval. The minutes are also publicly available for review. Please do not remove these documents or remove the entry without first discussing here. Thank you.--Warriorboy85 (talk) 08:23, 14 September 2023 (UTC)
