SGV Connect 80 – Catching Up with Foothill Transit

Welcome to the first SGV Connect of April. This week’s episode is a solo interview with Damien and Felicia Friesema at Foothill Transit. This is a regular check-in about the agency’s efforts to provide access to vaccinations, the rollout of its electric double-decker bus fleet, and how a transit agency can celebrate poetry month.

Last, if you ride Foothill Transit, or were a rider before the pandemic, please take the agency’s rider survey. Regardless of the last time you rode the bus, they want to hear from you.

SGV Connect is supported by Foothill Transit, offering car-free travel throughout the San Gabriel Valley with connections to the new Gold Line Stations across the Foothills and Commuter Express lines traveling into the heart of downtown L.A.
