These positions may be up to 80% reimbursable under the FTA grant program in the budget year and out years. A key component of the PUC's mission is to ensure public safety. This request would bring the number of inspectors in line with the growth of transit infrastructure and ridership to increase public and transit employee safety. The number of rail transit systems has increased from 12 in 2009, to 14 systems with 500 miles of track in 2015. Ridership in the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transit Authority (LACMTA) system alone has increased 25 percent: from 327 million in 2009 and 408 million in 2013, to over 500 million in 2015.

  • In This Special Calendar Issue of BACKSTAGE PASS
    In this special calendar issue of BACKSTAGE PASS: A tribute to the classic attraction posters of Walt Disney Imagineering, plus two exciting new additions to Fantasyland in Disneyland® Park! “Hello to all of our Disneyland® Resort Passholders!” As many of you have heard, I have just returned to Southern California as president of the Disneyland® Resort. Like many of you, my excitement and passion for The Happiest Place on Earth began when my parents brought me to the Park when I was a child. I remember eating popcorn on Main Street, U.S.A., meeting Mickey Mouse for the first time, and never wanting to leave. That first trip—and all of the trips that followed with my parents, friends, and now with my own family—created memories that I will never forget. And that, after all, is what the Disneyland® Resort is all about. After meeting hundreds of Cast Members and Guests throughout my first couple of weeks, I can’t tell you how excited I am to be here and how proud I am to be part of this team. As you are aware, the past year has been an incredibly Michael Colglazier, exciting one at the Disneyland® Resort with the openings of President, Disneyland® Resort Buena Vista Street, Cars Land, and most recently, Fantasy Faire. We’ve also been working to enhance your Passholder experience through Limited Time Annual Passholder Magic which will give you even more opportunities to create lifelong memories with your friends and families. More Limited Time Annual Passholder Magic means more reasons this is the best year ever to be an Annual Passholder! On behalf of all of the Cast Members at the Disneyland® Resort, thank you for being part of our family.
