RECOMMENDATIONS That the City Council, subject to the approval of the Mayor: 1. APPROVE the final list of projects (Attachment A) as the City's priorities for pursuing this grant; and 2. AUTHORIZE the General Manager of LADOT to submit grant applications to METRO on behalf of the City for all recommended projects for possible funding through this grant; and 3. DIRECT the General Manager or Director of the respective lead City department to identify any additional resource needs, including staff and/or overtime funding, for the implementation of projects that are awarded funding in this grant opportunity, and to seek approval for any additional staffing from the City Council prior to accepting funds; and 4. AUTHORIZE the General Manager or Director of the lead City department to execute any necessary funding and contractual documents, subject to the approval of the City Attorney as to form and legality, for accepting this grant. BACKGROUND As specified in the State tolling legislation (AB194) and per direction of METRO Board of Directors, the 1-110 Freeway and 1-10 Freeway Express Lanes toll revenue is to be used for the administration, maintenance, operations, toll collection and enforcement of the Express Lanes. Any remaining revenue is to be granted on a competitive basis to local jurisdictions for qualified expenditures that are within a three mile radius of the freeway corridors where revenues are generated. AN EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY - AFFIRMATIVE ACTION EMPLOYER The Honorable City Council -2- April 7, 2016 The objective of the program is to increase mobility and person throughput by implementing a series of integrated strategies including active transportation and transit use. The City of Los Angeles was awarded $3,910,185 for five projects in the first cycle of this grant. Opportunity An estimated $20.7 million in new revenue is expected to be available for a second cycle of Express Lane grants. Approximately $16 million is available for the 1-110 corridor and $4.7 million for the 1-10 corridor. Within each pool, projects will be divided into three categories: System Connectivity/Active Transportation, Transit Uses, and Roadway Improvements. Forty percent of the total funding is available for System Connectivity/Active Transportation, forty percent is for Transit Use, and the remaining twenty percent is available for Roadway Improvements. METRO requires applications to be submitted by May 16, 2016. City's Project Development and Recommended Projects As soon as the Notice of Funding Availability was released by METRO in February 2016, LADOT sent out notices to all council offices, the Mayor's Office, the Bureau of Street Lighting (BSL), the Bureau of Engineering (BOE), the Bureau of Street Services and the Department of City Planning requesting the nomination of projects to compete for this grant. After receiving nominations and obtaining data necessary to evaluate projects, LADOT assembled an interdepartmental advisory committee to review and prioritize the projects. The advisory committee, comprised of technical staff from LADOT, BOE and BSL, met and evaluated and prioritized the City's projects in the attached document (Attachment A). These recommendations reflect the consensus view of the advisory committee after conducting a thorough technical assessment of the candidate projects relative to the Express Lane Cycle 2 grant requirements. The advisory committee also considered the adopted City policies including Vision Zero and METRO'S evaluation criteria when reviewing candidate projects. The City of Los Angeles is submitting its most competitive applications in order to secure the most funding possible, and has identified projects listed on the Attachment A as the best candidates for this grant opportunity. FISCAL IMPACT There is no impact to the City's General Fund because there are no match requirements for this grant. The grant is on a reimbursement basis, therefore Propositions A and C funds should be made available to provide front funding for this grant. Future appropriations by the Mayor and City Council will be required to finalize approved grant memoranda of understanding and to deliver the projects (i.e. design, project management, construction, and inspection).

Bus transit lines are a key element of a balanced transportation system that can improve or detract from the quality of life of its’ populous. Transit networks that are poorly implemented eventually become impractical and difficult to maintain; and thus, a burden upon the city it’s meant to help. In addition the service reliability of a transit line is critical to both the transit agency and its users in order to maintain a healthy transportation system.
