Valley Transit Authority - Busses Speeding

Jul 10, 2003

A spokesperson from the Valley Transit Bus service asked us to remind our residents about continued reporting about the busses speeding through and around our neighborhood.

They have also fielded other calls to the VTA regarding speeding problems throughout other areas of the valley. They said they are constantly monitoring the busses. Any bus driver that gets a complaint, this complaint goes into their file. If the violation warrants, they either get transferred to a desk job, relocated, or fired.

They ask that we bring this bus concern up and discuss it at one of our meetings, plus printing an item about it in our newsletter asking for the publics support.

They are very concerned about safety factors with their busses and encourage anyone who witnesses any violation to call 602-253-5000. This is a recorded message center. You can call anonymously. All a caller has to do is give as much of a description of the violation as possible: i.e.; time of day, location (street) which way was it traveling and an ID number if possible. The time and street are critical as they can usually pinpoint the bus that creates the violation with the just street and time information. . . ☺
