Rep. Knight Welcomes Veterans on AVTA's New Service
|
The Antelope Valley Transit Authority (AVTA), Lancaster, CA, recently added a stop at the Los Angeles Veterans Administration Medical Center to its 786 Commuter Route, and Rep. Steve Knight (R-CA) joined representatives of the armed forces to mark the event.
“Ensuring that our local heroes receive the medical treatment they need from the VA is a passion of mine,” said Knight. “This new service being offered by AVTA will allow many veterans to travel to the West LA Medical Center for treatment without having to worry about finding a ride.”
| AVTA operates the service with 45-foot commuter buses equipped with free Wi-Fi and other conveniences, part of a 30-bus fleet making daily trips throughout the region. The medical center is the largest veteran facility in the VA healthcare system.
AVTA Board Chair Marvin Crist noted the area’s “rich history associated with military service,” adding, “Making sure that [veterans and active duty military] have a convenient and affordable transportation option to the VA is one way we can show our gratitude and appreciation for their service to our country.”
