In 2005, Citizens Against Government Waste criticized an earmark for ART from the United States Congress as wasteful spending.[13]

In 2010, Disney contracted with ART to run shuttles from a Disney-owned parking lot to the Disneyland Resort.[7][14]

Governance

ART is owned by the Anaheim Transportation Network, a quasi-government agency[7] organized as a nonprofit corporation.[15] 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.[16] Diana Kotler is the executive director of the organization.[10][16]
