63 Metro s Plan to Ease Traffic March

64 Metro s Unique Role 1,433-square mile service area across 88 cities From the desert to the beaches, Metro provides transportation to a region the size of Rhode Island that s 10 million Angelenos Provides funding for local streets, city improvements 86

65 Metro s Progress in Easing Traffic Metro provides 450 million rides a year 99 miles of rail and subway 2,200 buses providing service on through 170 routes Metro is expanding through the public s investment Two rail lines opening in 2016 Three additional rail lines in construction Several highway improvements underway Metro has a strong foundation to plan for future transportation needs 87

66 Still Much More to Do LA County expected to grow by another 750,000 people in the next 10 years Expanding LA County s transportation network: More highway and transit alternatives, local improvements, and resources to keep services in good operating condition It ll take a combination of local, federal and private dollars to fund future transportation improvements 88

67 More Local Investment Paves the Way Additional local sales tax investment will allow Metro to deliver more projects sooner rather than later The Governor recently signed into law SB767, authorizing Metro to put a sales tax measure on a future ballot Metro is considering pursuing a sales tax election in November for an additional ½ cent 89

68 What This Means for You 5 cents on a $10 purchase $50 a year to invest in easing traffic Buying a coffee drink once a week costs $260/year Eating fast food once a week costs $420/year Modest investment will bring major benefits More transportation alternatives More ways to connect through technology More community improvements More quality time, more time for you 90

69 Why Now? We spend an average of 70 hours a year stuck in traffic Time is money the longer it takes to build out transportation improvements the more expensive it will be If we don t plan now for future growth, gains of recent years will give way to more traffic congestion 91

70 Annual Revenue Assumptions New ½ cent tax = $860 million/year FY18-FY39 ½ cent building on top of existing Measure R New ½ cent and Measure R together $1.7 billion/year FY40-FY57 1 cent replaces Measure R tax rate New revenues would begin in FY18 $120 billion in YOE dollars would be generated over the 40-year program 92

71 Potential Ballot Measure Transforming transportation will include projects in all sub-regions of Los Angeles County Metro conducted a bottoms-up process with the nine sub-regions of the county, which submitted projects for evaluation 93

72 Potential Ballot Measure Metro is evaluating the major transit and highway projects through established Performance Metrics These metrics are based on industry best practices and reflects feedback from Board Members and regional stakeholders 94

73 Proposed Performance Metrics Themes & Weights Improve travel times and reliability; increase active transportation Increase service to the transit dependent, cyclists, youths, pedestrians, seniors, and people with disabilities; increase those served by Metro; improve first-last mile Enhance personal and public safety; reduce incidents Create jobs; increase goods movement; invest in disadvantaged communities Reduce greenhouse gases; improve air quality; positively impact public health 95

74 Project Evaluation Process The evaluation process will be the foundation for developing the Expenditure Plan The plan will include cost estimates and schedules for the major construction projects This process provides an opportunity to potentially accelerate some Measure R projects while keeping other existing projects on their current schedule 96

75 Next Steps Project Evaluation and Financial Modeling December 2015-March 2016 Expenditure Plan Recommendation to Board March Public Comment March-June Board Decision on November Tax Vote June 97
