NEW ISSUE—BOOK‑ENTRY ONLY RATINGS: Moody’s: A1 S&P: AA+ (See “RATINGS” herein) In the opinion of Bond Counsel, under existing law and assuming compliance with the tax covenants described herein, and the accuracy of representations and certifications made by LACMTA described herein, interest on the Series 2009‑D Bonds is excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes under Section 103 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Bond Counsel is also of the opinion that such interest is not treated as a preference item in calculating the alternative minimum tax imposed under the Code with respect to individuals and corporations. Interest on the Series 2009‑D Bonds is, however, included in the adjusted current earnings of certain corporations for purposes of computing the alternative minimum tax imposed on such corporations. Bond Counsel is further of the opinion that interest on the Series 2009‑D Bonds is exempt from personal income taxes of the State of California under present state law. See “TAX MATTERS” in this Official Statement regarding certain other tax considerations. $118,785,000 LOS ANGELES COUNTY METROPOLITAN TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITY Proposition C Sales Tax Revenue Refunding Bonds Second Senior Bonds Series 2009‑D Dated: Date of Delivery Due: As shown on inside cover The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (“LACMTA”) is issuing its Proposition C Sales Tax Revenue Refunding Bonds, Second Senior Bonds, Series 2009‑D (the “Series 2009‑D Bonds”).

Neither the faith and credit nor the taxing power of the County of Los Angeles, the State of California or any political subdivision or agency thereof, other than LACMTA to the extent of the Pledged Revenues and certain other amounts held by the Trustee under the Agreement, is pledged to the payment of the principal of or interest on the Series 2009‑D Bonds. LACMTA has no power to levy property taxes to pay the principal of or interest on the Series 2009‑D Bonds. The Series 2009‑D Bonds are limited obligations of LACMTA and are payable, both as to principal and interest, solely from the Pledged Revenues and certain other amounts held by the Trustee under the Agreement.
