Line 624 (West Hills Loop)

West Hills Loop logo Line 624 was one of five "transportation demand management" (TDM) shuttle lines (paid for with federal Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality funds and local Proposition C sales tax revenue) that MTA implemented shortly after it came into existence. The DASH-style "West Hills Loop" was an attempt to provide 30-minute all-day service via streets too narrow in many places to accomodate full-size buses. It began service January 31, 1994.

Line 624 was reevaluated as part of the San Fernando Valley Transit Restructuring Study and was to have been incorporated into a new Line 669 shuttle. However, it had not proven to be much of a success -- primarily because it did not operate weekends, when it could have ferried shoppers to and from Fallbrook Mall -- and Line 624 ceased operation June 25, 1995. (The 1995 staff report proposing the cancellation of the TDM shuttles contains ridership data showing the poor performance of Line 624.)
