  • Art Leahy, Chief Executive Officer

    Art Leahy, Chief Executive Officer

    ART LEAHY, CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER Art Leahy was appointed as Metrolink’s Chief Executive Officer and began in April 2015. He brings more than 40 years of public transportation leadership and experience to Metrolink. One of the nation’s leading transit officials, Art Leahy served as chief executive officer of the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) for six years. During that time, he guided implementation of one of the largest public works programs in United States history, securing billions in federal and state dollars to help finance construction of dozens of transit and highway projects. He led the completion of numerous projects funded by Los Angeles County’s Measure R. Metro has transit and highway projects valued at more than $14 billion, eclipsing that of any other transportation agency in the nation. This includes an unprecedented five new rail projects under construction, including phase 2 of the Expo Line extension to Santa Monica and the Metro Gold Line Foothill Extension to Azusa, as well as the Crenshaw/LAX Transit Project, the Regional Connector in downtown Los Angeles, and the first phase of the Westside Purple Line subway extension to Wilshire and La Cienega. Leahy also launched a $1.2-billion overhaul of the Metro Blue Line and guided the purchase of a new fleet of rail cars. And he helped transform the iconic Union Station into the hub of the region’s expanding bus and rail transit network and led the agency’s acquisition of the 75-year-old iconic facility. Though Metrolink is a separate transportation agency from Metro, the two agencies work collaboratively on multiple fronts to provide effective and efficient public transportation options for people throughout the region.

    City Council Agenda Report

    CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT MEETING DATE: 4/12/2021 ITEM NO: 15 TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council SUBJECT: Approval of a Letter to the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority in Support of Federal Funding for the West Santa Ana Branch Light Rail Project FROM: Karen Lee, Management Analyst REVIEWED AND APPROVED BY: Melissa Burke, Administrative Manager HongDao Nguyen, City Attorney William Rawlings, City Manager RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the City Council authorize the Mayor to sign, and direct staff to submit, the attached letter to the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority. BACKGROUND: The West Santa Ana Branch (WSAB) light rail line is a substantial public works and transportation project that will have a permanent impact on the region. This project will have tremendous impact on the City as the City’s planned station location in the Downtown will be the line’s terminus. The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) is overseeing this project. During the January 12, 2021 meeting of the WSAB City Manager Technical Advisory Committee, and the board meeting of the Orangeline Development Authority/Eco-Rapid Transit on January 13, 2021, Metro staff reported that it intends to lobby for federal funding for the WSAB project to help pay the estimated cost of $6.3 to $6.5 billion in 2018 dollars based on 5% design level plus the addition of project revisions. The project costs will be updated this month based on the 15% design level. 1 ANALYSIS: Metro has requested that cities along the WSAB corridor provide letters in support of the WSAB project and Metro’s efforts to pursue federal funding for this project.

    Go Metro Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority Metro is unique among the nation’s transportation agencies. It serves as transportation planner and coordinator, designer, builder and operator for one of the country’s largest, most populous counties. More than 9.6 million people – one-third of California’s residents – live, work, and play within its 1,433-square-mile service area. Besides operating over 2,000 peak-hour buses on an average weekday, Metro also designed, built and now operates 87 miles of Metro Rail service. The Metro Rail system consists of the Metro Red/Purple Line subway system, and the Metro Blue, Expo, Green and Gold Lines. In total, the Metro Rail system serves 80 rail stations stretching from Long Beach to Downtown Los Angeles, Hollywood and the San Fernando Valley, from Culver City to East Los Angeles and Pasadena, from Norwalk to El Segundo, and all points in between. Under construction is the Expo Line Phase II which will stretch from Culver City to Santa Monica and the 11-mile Gold Line Foothill Extension from Pasadena to Azusa. In addition to operating its own service, Metro funds 16 municipal bus operators and funds a wide array of transportation projects, including bikeways and pedestrian facilities, local roads and highway improvements, goods movement, Metrolink commuter rail, and the popular Freeway Service Patrol and Call Boxes. Recognizing that no one form of transit can solve urban congestion problems, Metro’s multimodal approach uses a variety of transportation alternatives to meet the needs of the highly diverse populations in the region.

  • Regional Connector Transit Corridor FY19 Project Profile

    Regional Connector Transit Corridor FY19 Project Profile

    Regional Connector Transit Corridor Los Angeles California (December 2017) The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (LACMTA) is constructing a 1.9 mile double track light rail transit line in downtown Los Angeles, with 3 new underground stations and the procurement of 4 light rail vehicles. The project will begin at the existing 7th Street/Metro Center Station and will provide connections via a new underground alignment to the existing Metro Blue, Exposition, and Gold Lines. The alignment will extend north underground from the 7th Street/Metro Center Station following Flower Street, curving east under the 2nd Street roadway tunnel and 2nd Street, and continuing east under the intersection of 1st and Alameda Streets, surfacing to connect to the Metro Gold Line tracks within 1st Street at grade to the east and north of Temple Street toward Union Station. In the opening year of 2021 as well as the forecast year of 2035, service will be provided using three-car train consists in the peak period with service every 2.5 minutes. Service will be provided every five minutes during off- peak periods. The hours of operation will be 5:00 a.m. to 12:00 a.m. weekdays and weekends. Estimated daily linked trips on the Project using current year inputs are 58,580. This number is expected to grow to 100,980 daily linked trips by 2035. The total project cost under the Full Funding Grant Agreement (FFGA) is $1,402.93 million. The Section 5309 New Starts funding share is $669.90 million. Status Following completion of an alternatives analysis in January 2009, and the publication of a Draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) in September 2010, the LACMTA Board selected the locally preferred alternative in October 2010.

    City Council Agenda Report

    CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT MEETING DATE: 11/9/2020 ITEM NO: 7 TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council SUBJECT: Informational Report Regarding the 3% Local Contribution Required Under Measure M to Fund the West Santa Ana Branch Light Rail Line FROM: Karen Lee, Management Analyst REVIEWED AND APPROVED BY: Melissa Burke, Administrative Manager Christi Hogin, City Attorney William Rawlings, City Manager RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the City Council receive and file the report. BACKGROUND: Los Angeles County voters approved Measure M on November 8, 2016, which implemented a permanent county-wide sales tax increase to fund projects to greatly expand the County’s public transit system, including new rail lines, roads, and related infrastructure. The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) administers Measure M funds. Funding for the West Santa Ana Branch (WSAB) line is provided by Measure M. One of Measure M’s requirements is a local contribution by jurisdictions for constructing a rail project with a new station within their boundaries. The rationale for the contribution is that local jurisdictions receive a direct benefit due to the increased access to transit service that is above and beyond the project’s benefit to the County as a whole. The contribution amount is 3% of the project’s total costs at the 30% level of its final design. It is capped at this amount for local contribution purposes, even if the total project cost increases. This amount is then divided by the number of new rail stations constructed on the line. Jurisdictions located within a one-half mile area of the new station will proportionally share the costs based on each jurisdiction’s share of the area.
