In 2005, Citizens Against Government Waste criticized an earmark for ART from the United States Congress as wasteful spending.[14]

In 2010, Disney contracted with ART to run shuttles from a Disney-owned parking lot and all stations to the Disneyland Resort.[5][15]

Governance

ART is owned by the Anaheim Transportation Network, a quasi-government agency[5] organized as a nonprofit corporation.[16] Its board of directors is made up of representatives from hotels, local government, tourist attractions, and other businesses in the Anaheim Resort and Platinum Triangle.[17] Diana Kotler is the executive director of the organization.[11][17]
