Covina : Keeping Bus Shelters Clean
- Share via
To maintain bus shelters, the city has hired a nonprofit agency that provides job training for disabled adults.
The City Council on Tuesday voted 5 to 0 to pay Valley Light Industries Inc. $5,200 a year to remove graffiti and pick up trash each week around the nine city shelters. Valley Light provides the same services in La Puente and West Covina.
The agency’s vocational program has about 143 trainees who receive industrial training in areas such as assembling and packaging. Valley Light’s center on Grand Avenue in Covina has provided training for mentally and physically handicapped adults since 1970, a spokeswoman said.
