EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Transit Services Division provides regional bus service through Beach Cities Transit (BCT) Line 109, connecting several cities from Redondo Beach to Los Angeles International Airport (LAX). To support the operational costs of the line, which runs through Redondo Beach, Hermosa Beach, Manhattan Beach, and El Segundo, the City maintains agreements with each BCT Partner City.
