As reported by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ocregister.com\/2026\/01\/28\/anaheim-tourism-network-which-shuttles-visitors-others-in-resort-area-to-begin-wind-down-of-operations\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Orange County Register,;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Orange County Register,<\/a> the agency is funded through hotel assessments based on room count and rider fares. ATN has raised hotel contributions, capped at 5%, but those increases have not kept pace with rising labor costs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">More than 70% of the agency\u2019s operating expenses go toward labor, officials said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The city of Anaheim explored acquiring ATN last year in hopes of stabilizing the system without requiring higher payments from hoteliers. However, city officials told the Register\u00a0they are no longer pursuing the option.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The Disneyland Resort said it is monitoring the situation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cWe\u2019re aware of the situation, recognize the value and importance of resort-area transportation for guests and are actively exploring next steps,\u201d a spokesperson said in a statement to <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/ScottGustin\/status\/2017277298844594674\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Nexstar\u2019s Scott Gustin.;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Nexstar\u2019s Scott Gustin.<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Nexstar Media Group is the parent company of KTLA.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Copyright 2026 Nexstar Media, Inc.
