Plenty of Parking available for Gold Line Shuttle Service

If the recent parking restrictions in Azusa are leaving you frustrated, the Glendora Gold Line Shuttle can provide some relief.

The shuttle, which picks up peak a.m. and peak p.m. riders from the Village’s Transit Plaza and the Teen Center, has run for five weeks to and from the Azusa Downtown Station and saw an increase in ridership, mainly at the Teen Center.

There is plenty of parking available at both sites for peak riders, said Justine Garcia, transportation programs analyst for Glendora.

“We are expecting that ridership will continue to grow as more individuals become aware of the service,” Garcia said. “We are excited to see a handful of our residents walking to shuttle stops and encourage Glendora residents within the shuttle stop areas to keep doing so.”
