Still Much More to Do
• LA County expected to grow by another 750,000people 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

Why Now?
• We spend an average of 70 hoursa year stuck in traffic
• Time is money – the longer it
takes to build out transportation
improvements the moreexpensive it will be
• If we don’t plan now for future
growth, gains of recent years willgive way to more traffic
congestion

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

Project Evaluation Process
• The evaluation process will be the foundation fordeveloping 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
