Executive Summary The 2018 Regional Transportation Improvement Program (RTIP) for Los Angeles County satisfies the State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) requirements for an urbanized county. The RTIP is a listing of state highway and transit projects that Los Angeles County proposes for funding through the 2018 STIP covering the five-year period from Fiscal Year 2018/2019 to 2022/2023. The primary purpose of the RTIP is to help implement the 2009 Long Range Transportation Plan and the Southern California Association of Government’s adopted Regional Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy. The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro), as the County Transportation Commission for Los Angeles County, is responsible for developing the county’s funding priorities for the STIP, and for submitting the projects to the California Transportation Commission (CTC) by way of the RTIP. On August 16, 2017, the CTC adopted the 2018 STIP Fund Estimate (Fund Estimate). According to the Fund Estimate there is sufficient capacity to restore the $754 million in statewide deletions that resulted from the negative Fund Estimate for the 2016 STIP. In addition, the Fund Estimate indicates that there is also $1.5 billion for the regions and the state to program additional projects, as well as $335 million in capacity to fund Advanced Project Development Element (APDE) work through the 2018 STIP period. Consistent with STIP priorities, Metro has reprogrammed prior 2016 deletions and has introduced a modally balanced program of new projects proposed for the 2018 STIP.

Background of Regional Transportation Improvement Program (RTIP) A. What is the Regional Transportation Improvement Program? The Regional Transportation Improvement Program (RTIP) is a program of highway, local road, transit and active transportation projects that a region plans to fund with State and Federal revenue programmed by the California Transportation Commission in the State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP). The RTIP is developed biennially by the regions and is due to the Commission by December 15 of every odd numbered year. The program of projects in the RTIP is a subset of projects in the Regional Transportation Plan (RTP), a federally mandated master transportation plan which guides a region’s transportation investments over a 20 to 25 year period. The RTP is based on all reasonably anticipated funding, including federal, state and local sources. Updated every 4 to 5 years, the RTP is developed through an extensive public participation process in the region and reflects the unique mobility, sustainability, and air quality needs of each region. B. Regional Agency’s Historical and Current Approach to developing the RTIP The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) develops the biennial RTIP based on the projects identified in the 2009 Long Range Transportation Plan, 2014 Short Range Transportation Plan, Metro’s Measure R and Measure M Expenditure Plans and the Southern California Association of Governments 2016 Regional Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy. Additionally, Metro coordinates with Caltrans District 7 as well as our local agency partners for identifying projects to be submitted in the RTIP. Further, for the 2018 RTIP, Metro employed the Metro Board-adopted Evaluative Criteria Framework to develop the program of projects proposed. All of the projects submitted in the RTIP from Los Angeles County have gone through thorough analysis and public outreach. Section 4. Completion of Prior RTIP Projects (Required per Section 68) Per Section 68 of the STIP Guidelines, reporting is required on RIP-funded projects completed since the last RTIP adoption. Project completion is defined as construction contract acceptance. Since the 2016 RTIP adoption, no RIP-funded projects have reached the milestone of construction contract acceptance, and therefore there is nothing to report at this time. 2018 Los Angeles County Regional Transportation Improvement Program 4 Section 5.
