The Metro Policy Advisory Committee (PAC) reconvened in September to begin work on series of administrative procedures for the big Los Angeles County transportation funding mechanism, Measure M. First up is the $10 billion available through the Multi-Year Subregional Programs (MSPs). The PAC is tasked with creating rules to guide the work of the regional Councils of Governments (COGs), who will create 5-year project lists to advance their communities’ transportation priorities through the MSP funding.
Earlier this year, the SB1 transportation bill included an extra $100 million each year for the Active Transportation Program. And those funds are already making their way to communities in need: 54 cities and counties have been newly funded. In this augmentation cycle, Caltrans reconsidered applications from the 2017 cycle, and were able to fund projects that scored a 79 or higher (the prior cut-off was 89).
