Please be advised the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Bomb Squad Unit is not expected to arrive at the Palmdale Transportation Center for at least another hour and possibly two. It may be several hours before PTC is cleared for AVTA passengers to reach their cars. Commuters may want to make other arrangements with family members, if possible, to avoid the long delay. AVTA passengers are being transported to the recreation center at Desert Sands Park on Technology Drive and 3rd Street East. We will keep you informed as this situation develops. The AVTA website will also be updated. Thank You
