Transportation Demand Management/ Sustainability Subcommittee

- No updates



4. Chairperson’s Report

Covid-19 Updates - Metro is continuously adjusting services to respond to Covid-19 related concerns and is monitoring situations daily to ensure

trains and buses are not overcrowded; Metro’s top priority is to ensure the safety of our riders and employees - Currently, weekday services operate as enhanced Sunday services including rapid and most local express buses - Metro Budget team will brief TAC members today on the immediate responses to the CARES Act of $1.06B stimulus grant to

LA County and the FY 21 Transit Fund - Metro staff is seeking Board’s approval at the May Board meeting for a continuing resolution to carry the FY20 budget through

September - Metro established a recovery task force to identify Covid-19 related early actions and long-term recommendations for Metro

Other Metro Updates - CA High Speed Rail Board approved $423M for LAUS (e.g., run through tracks) - Metro received TIRCP grant for the Antelope Valley Line

TAC Updates - Call for Projects Recertification/Deobligation/Extension is coming up

o Staff continues to actively monitor project status with jurisdictions and understands delays on project deliveries may occur due to Covid-19

o Annual Call for Projects appeal process will take place in June and staff anticipate limited numbers of projects for appeal

- Next TAC meeting on June 3rd will likely be virtual and will include Call for Projects annual appeals and approving BOS recommendations for FTA Section 5307 funding allocations for Metro and Munis

5. Consent Calendar Lisa Rapp made a motion to approve the March TAC meeting minutes and Sebastian Hernandez seconded. Minutes were approved with abstentions from Jane Leonard, Tracy Beidleman, and Ellen Blackman.

6. LTSS Prop A Incentive Funds (Sebastian Hernandez)

Key Facts on the Subregional Incentive Program - The program funds subregional transportation agencies that directly serve seniors and people with disabilities - The program helps to reduce demand for access services and thereby results in savings to the region - The program funds 15% of net operating costs for participating agencies with up to 10% additional funding for meeting three

incentive productivity standards (cost growth, productivity, and subsidy per passenger)

Issue - The COVID crisis has disrupted service operations for all transit providers and impacts agencies striving to meet performance

standards; operating data for FY 2020 is used as the basis for establishing funding marks for FY 2022

LTSS Recommendation



- Recommendation to suspend FY 2022 Subregional Paratransit Performance Standards so that all participants receive the full 25% incentive for FY 2022 was approved at the LTSS April meeting to reduce funding uncertainty to participating agencies and limit impact of social distancing

Action Lisa Rapp made a motion to approve LTSS recommendation to suspend FY 2022 Subregional Paratransit Performance Standards and Mike Behen seconded. Action was approved with no abstentions.

7. CARES Act and FY21

Transit Funds (Drew

Phillips)

FY20 Funding Allocations - FY20 funding allocations will be fully met as documented in various MOUs and it is anticipated that the budget resolution into

FY21 will continue expenditures at a monthly rate at least until September when the Metro Board can adopt FY21 budget

CARES Act Update - Metro Board continues to support the agency in carrying out various functionalities in personnel, projects, operations, etc. - Metro Board represents the Regional Transportation Planning Authority and continues to address all activities in the county - The Metro Board will continue to understand the implications of the pandemic to the county including direct funding impacts

to the county, which are estimated at $1.5-2.5B, resulting from loss in resources like sales tax and addition of resources

required by the pandemic like increased cleaning on our facilities

- The CARES Act provided $1B and it is up to the Board to tackle the budgetary challenges and addressing impacts in the county - It is anticipated that the Board will be providing a recommendation this month

8. Legislative Update (Michael Turner/Raffi Hamparian)

Federal - CARES Act 2.0 of $500B+ is currently in discussion and being pushed by House leadership - House Democrats will meet to discuss mass transit funding inclusion in CARES Act 2.0 - Discussions are still pending on the funding formula, but a vote can take place as early as the second week of May

State - Main revisions to the state budget are expected in the second week of May and will likely show budget deficit - Deficits will be likely in the general fund and transportation revenues where we expect to see loss in gas tax revenues - Transportation revenue deficit will impact SB1 programs while general fund deficits will impact cap and trade program - The legislature will adopt a basic budget in June and the main revise will likely show cuts in the budget - Several bills pushed by Metro (e.g., automated camera enforcement in bus lanes) are not moving and will wait until the rest of

the session unfolds; the modified bill regarding transit passes for college students is the only bill moving forward - Discussions are being had on how infrastructure developments can be used to stimulate economy and create jobs, similar to

Metro’s plan for the reauthorization transportation bill, Rebuilding America Initiative



9. ATP & CTC Update (Patricia Chen/Anna Moneymaker)

CTC Update - CTC March 25 Meeting

o Safe rule allows FHWA and FTA to make conformity determinations and allow SCAG to finalize its RTP o Upon federal approval of plan, projects in the new plan can be delivered; phase 2 of rule adoption published April 30 o Guidelines adopted on March 25th for ATP, Local Partnership Program, and Trade Corridors Enhancement Program o Covid-19 impacts state gas tax revenues which could result in an allocation plan to prioritize allocations for state

funding programs o Allocations that occurred include TIRCP for LINK US, funding allocation for Division 20 portal widening, and ATP

projects in cities of Compton, Glendale, and Los Angeles o Timely use of funds policy changed to include withdrawal of time extensions for period of project allocation, time

extensions for period of contract award and deference of expenditure - CTC April 29 Meeting

o Adopted changes to SB-1 program application deadlines for Local Partnership Program, Solutions for Congested Corridors Program, and Trade Corridor Enhancement Program (dates are included in the May TAC agenda packet)

o Caltrans has a taskforce to address real-time administrative issues due to Covid-19 impacts o Currently Caltrans reports up to a 35% decrease in travel across the state and safety remains a big concern

- Next CTC meeting will be on May 13 and there is plan for action on amending timely use of funds provision

Updates on ATP and Local Streets & Roads Program - CTC adopted a revised schedule for the 2020 ATP Cycle 5 (dates are included in the May TAC agenda packet) - ATP Quick Build Projects are not subject to $250,000 minimum request and the application process will be streamlined, due

July 15, 2020 - Local Streets & Roads funding eligibility schedule for FY 2020-21 is available (dates are included in the May TAC agenda packet)

10. Parking Management Fee Policy (Frank Ching)

Board Action - The parking management fee policy went to the Board for approval in April which established Metro’s parking ordinance and

Metro’s parking rates and fee resolution in support of implementation of the Parking Management Program and Union Station Parking Rates Adjustments

- CEO was authorized to execute five-year base period, firm fixed price contract with two, one-year options through a revenue generating contract with no upfront cost or investment

Parking Management Program - The program goals are to manage parking demand through pricing policy, ensure parking availability for transit users, and

maintain a self-sustaining program - Lessons were learned particularly around parking demand balancing and ridership verification



Metro Board Motion 34.1 - For adoption in June 2020, Metro will provide free parking for transit patrons at Metro parking facilities with 30% or below

capacity on weekends and holidays - Union Station and any Metro parking facilities that have special arrangements/contracts with municipalities or local

jurisdictions for public parking or other non-transit parking use are exempt from this motion

11. LRTP Update (Rena Lum)

LRTP Requirements - The Draft 2020 Long Range Transportation Plan has been in the making for over five years - LRTP must meet conformity/funding requirements including state and federal funding eligibility - LRTP is a living document and is updated and amended as needed - LRTP is developed in alignment with SCAG RTP/SCS; currently, the SCAG 2020 RTP is scheduled for May adoption

LRTP Outreach and Next Steps - In 2018, extensive outreach was conducted to identify four priority areas: better transit, less congestion, complete streets, and

access to opportunity - Based on outreach and feedback, the draft 2020 LRTP was put together - The 2020 LRTP will go to the Metro Board for authorization to release document to public on May 28 - The Draft plan will go under a 45-day review and telephone town hall between May 29 and July 13 - The 2020 LRTP will go to the Board for adoption in late Summer 2020

TAC Call for Projects Appeals Protocol

Revised TAC Appeals Protocol Guidelines 06-24-2015

TECHNICAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE TAC Roles and Responsibilities: TAC is an Advisory Committee and serves as the appeal body for Metro Grant Programs including the Call for Projects, Transit Oriented Development (TOD), FTA Section 5310, to name a few. TAC’s primary role and responsibility is to provide an objective, technical, and countywide perspective in the appeals process. TAC’s role is also to objectively listen to project sponsors’ appeal for funding. Based on the merits of the appeal, it is TAC’s role to recommend whether the project is justified to receive funding from the Board approved TAC Appeal Reserve fund. Projects are not to be reevaluated or rescored. Metro staff can concur, reject or recommend alternatives to the TAC recommendations. To ensure TAC’s countywide role, these protocols shall govern:

The Alternate TAC member shall only participate in the meeting when the primary TAC member is not present.

Ex-officio members are not allowed to vote.

For projects for which their respective agency has submitted an application(s) or appeal(s), TAC members and/or Alternates are prohibited from providing oral testimony.

TAC members and/or Alternates should not participate in TAC discussion concerning project(s) their agency sponsored so as not to be perceived as taking an advocacy role.

Motion seconds should be made from an agency/jurisdiction/League of Cities/TAC Subcommittee representative other than the agency/jurisdiction/League of Cities/TAC Subcommittee representative that originated the motion.

Any discussion involving the public will be allowed when acknowledged and determined appropriate by the TAC Chairperson.

TAC discussion and motion development is intended for TAC members’ participation only.

Note: Please attach a Project Map

Call for Project #: F7118 Total Project Cost: $17,735,000

Project Sponsor: City of Downey Metro Grant: $1,917,000

Project Title: Florence Avenue Bridge over the San Gabriel River

Time Extension Request: one (1) year

Call Awarded Year: 2013 Date of last TAC appeal: June 5, 2019

Scope of Work (350 characters maximum): This project will rehabilitate the existing undivided, four-lane capacity-constrained, collision prone, structurally-deficient bridge and widen the bridge to a 104-feet-wide, six (6) lane-bridge with a 14-foot-wide center median. It will also improve the 200-feet approaches on either side of the bridge with widened/ADA complaint sidewalks and a two-foot wider shoulder to improve cyclist safety. Project features include the following: 1) Rehabilitation of existing four-lane, 57-foot-wide undivided roadway bridge (ADT capacity: 30,000) and widen the bridge to a 104-foot-wide six-lane with 14-foot-wide center median bridge (ADT capacity: 60,000) 2) Upgrading through asphalt & overlay and widening the existing 200-foot roadway approaches to ensure seamless connections to the new bridge. 3) Replacement of existing 4.5 foot-wide sidewalks with no shoulders with dual five-foot-wide. ADA-compliant

sidewalks with two-foot shoulders. 4) Minor right-of-way acquisition, utility relocation and obtaining permits from applicable entities (i.e. LA County Flood Control Army Corps of Engineers, Department of Fish and Game, etc.) Were there any change(s) in the scope of work since the Metro Board approved of the project? If yes, please explain the change(s) and when these changes were approved: There have been no changes in the scope-of-work for this project since Metro Board approval. Project status and whether last TAC recommendation was met (if applicable): The initial scoping studies were completed and submitted to Caltrans Structures Division in March 2017. Caltrans Structures Division reviewed the scoping document and issued comments in July 2017, down-scoping the project to a bridge rehabilitation plus widening project. The City subsequently revised the scoping studies per Caltrans’ direction in March 2019 and resubmitted to Caltrans Structures Division, which completed their review of the studies in June 2019 and subsequently issued a finding advising the revision of the scoping studies once again to include a third evaluation alternative consisting of a cast-in-place, pre-stressed (CIP/PS) concrete box girder superstructure replacement alternative. The City has completed the revised scoping studies with the CIP/PS concrete box girder replacement alternative included and will submit to Caltrans Structures Division on May 29, 2020. The last TAC recommendation has not been met, given that the project is not yet fully-funded. However, the City would like to see if Metro would be open to allowing the local match to remain in-place if other funding source(s) can be identified. If project is in ROW acquisition phase, how many properties are needed and how many have been acquired since last TAC appeal. Schedule to acquire remaining properties (if applicable): The project is not yet in the ROW acquisition phase. Is the project financially viable and fully funded? If no, explain how the project will be delivered in a timely manner should extension be granted:



The project is not fully-funded at this point and, therefore, not financially viable. As previously indicated, the federal HBP funds still remain to be programmed for the future project phases. Should the extension be granted, the City will continue to diligently pursue the programming of the HBP funds with Caltrans. Reason(s) for delay, if any and how remedy: The City applied for federal HBP funds for this project in the amount of $15,383,000 in 2012. The City’s HBP funding application was approved by Caltrans, however, the HBP funds were never programmed in the FTIP. Therefore, the City has been unable to move forward with the subsequent phases (i.e., environmental, design, right-of-way and construction) of the project. Basis for extension and explanation of how the sponsor has or will overcome the delay: The bridge, originally constructed in 1951, has an inspection rating of 60.9, deeming the bridge structurally deficient (based on the last bridge inspection report conducted in 2017). Any further delays in the rehabilitation if the existing bridge will result in a higher cost as construction prices increase and the bridge further deteriorates. In addition, the bridge creates a bottleneck on Florence Ave. (ADT 40,000) which is a six-lane arterial which is reduced to four lanes at the bridge which is 33% over existing roadway capacity, causing delay and congestion to motorists accessing the I-605 Freeway and points further east. The traffic volume on Florence Avenue is expected to increase by 26% to approximately 51,000 vehicles per day (VPD) by 2035, increasing the bridge to 70% over roadway capacity, which will worsen the congestion and delay along Florence Avenue in the absence of widening the bridge to provide six travel lanes to match the remainder of the corridor. Upon the programming of the HBP funds and provided this extension request is granted, the City will strive to expedite the project completion by completing as many tasks concurrently to the extent practical.

Call for Project #: F3502 Total Project Cost: $ 1,948,575 Project Sponsor: City of Redondo Beach Metro Grant: $ 1,558,860 Project Title: Redondo Beach Bicycle Transportation Plan Implementation

Time Extension Request: __2___ year(s)

Call Awarded Year: 2009 Date of last TAC appeal: June 5, 2019 Scope of Work (350 characters maximum): The project includes the installation of signs, street markings, striping and video detection cameras & equipment for new bicycle facilities on streets throughout the City as identified in the South Bay Bicycle Master Plan along Torrance Boulevard, Beryl Street, Lilienthal Lane, Catalina Avenue and Avenue I. Were there any change(s) in the scope of work since the Metro Board approved of the project? If yes, please explain the change(s) and when these changes were approved: No. However, there are several roadway segments within the project limits that have been implemented by the City since project approval through various capital improvement projects. Project status and whether last TAC recommendation was met (if applicable): At the June 5, 2019 TAC meeting, the project funds were subject to deobligation due to failure to meet lapsing funds policy. The TAC granted an extension and requested the City to provide an update at the 2020 TAC meeting. The project is active and moving forward. Since project approval, several segments of the project have been completed as part of other City initiated projects. The City has reconciled which improvements have been completed compared to what’s remaining as part of the grant-funded project. The City is in the process of completing the environmental clearance documents, construction plans, specifications & cost estimate. A quarterly report was prepared and submitted to Metro for third quarter 2020. Metro recently approved Amendment #3 which extended the lapsing date to June 30, 2020. While we realize that the project funds will not be obligated before June 30, 2020 due to completing the environmental clearances and preparation of the construction documents, the City will be requesting another amendment to keep the project on schedule and moving forward. If project is in ROW acquisition phase, how many properties are needed and how many have been acquired since last TAC appeal. Schedule to acquire remaining properties (if applicable): N/A Is the project financially viable and fully funded? If no, explain how the project will be delivered in a timely manner should extension be granted: Although some segments of the project have been completed through other City projects, the project is financially viable and fully funded. The City is committed to completing the project in 20 months (January 2022). Reason(s) for delay, if any and how remedy: Due to public awareness and sensitivity about reducing vehicle lanes to add bike lanes, the project has elevated political awareness. As such, staff has increased its civic engagement by keeping stakeholders informed through periodic reports to the Public Works Commission.



Basis for extension and explanation of how the sponsor has or will overcome the delay: The City is committed to completing the project and implementing bicycle improvements throughout the City. Several segments of the project have been completed through other City-funded projects. The grant funds are needed to build the remaining planned bicycle facilities Revised/Proposed schedule:

Grant Funded Project



Call for Project #: F3514 Total Project Cost: $ 17,187,000 (low); $23,716,000 (high)

Project Sponsor: City of Los Angeles Metro Grant: $5,521,000

Project Title: Exposition-West Bikeway-Northvale Project

Time Extension Request: 1 year (FY 2020-21)

Call Awarded Year: 2009 Date of last TAC appeal: June 5, 2019

Scope of Work (350 characters maximum): The Expo II Bike Path Northvale Segment project proposes to construct approximately 0.28 miles of Class I Bike Path north of the I-10 Freeway, from Motor Avenue to a point 500 feet east of Dunleer Drive, within Caltrans and Metro’s right-of-way (ROW) contiguous to the Exposition Light Rail Line and City of Los Angeles’s sewer easement within existing private properties. After construction, the project will complete a continuous bike facility of approximately 3.45 miles of Class I Bike Path, with an adjacent pedestrian pathway, between the City of Culver City, the City of Los Angeles, and the City of Santa Monica. Were there any change(s) in the scope of work since the Metro Board approved of the project? If yes, please explain the change(s) and when these changes were approved: None. Project status and whether last TAC recommendation was met (if applicable): The project funding lapse date was extended for one year to June 30, 2020, at the June 2019 TAC meeting, with the condition that the project sponsor must provide an update at the June 2020 TAC meeting and demonstrate full project funding. The project is currently in ROW acquisition (see next section for more). The project design remains 50% complete due to ongoing ROW acquisition. The City is waiting for the final ROW alignment before progressing further with the design. The funding gap has also narrowed significantly with the identification of approximately $2 million in additional funding since last year (see funding section for more). The City is actively working with Metro to identify funds to close the gap. If project is in ROW acquisition phase, how many properties are needed and how many have been acquired since last TAC appeal. Schedule to acquire remaining properties (if applicable): Since the last TAC appeal, the acquisition process has begun. It will be necessary to acquire 12 properties for the project. Settlements have been made on four of the properties, with the remaining eight to be acquired through the condemnation process and in further negotiation. Full acquisition of the properties, including the condemnation process, is expected to be complete in 9-12 months. Is the project financially viable and fully funded? If no, explain how the project will be delivered in a timely manner should extension be granted: In addition to the Metro Call for Projects grant and the City’s local match, a total of $2,520,000 in Transportation Development Act/Local Transportation Funds (TDA/LTF) was appropriated for the project in the budget for Fiscal Year 2018-2019. In October 2018, City Council authorized LADOT to receive a $4.2 million refund from the Metro Exposition Line Construction Authority to support the completion of the design and construction of this bicycle facility. Additionally, in 2019 the City identified $1,997,000 in Proposition C Funds set aside for the Expo Bike Path, further narrowing the budget gap. A budget shortfall ranging from $2,949,000 to $9,478,000 remains, but the City is confident that the shortfall is closer to the lower figure (see table below).



The City of Los Angeles Bureau of Engineering, after consultations with the City Attorney’s Office, determined that real estate cost estimates should assume a best case 95% and a worst case 50% diminution in the value of the land with the utility easement, due to the legal restriction that prevents the underlying fee owner from placing improvements within the easement. Based on current ROW acquisition settlement figures, the City believes the best case scenario is the more realistic one. This means the City can complete ROW acquisition with the funds that are currently available. Therefore, the budget shortfall will be closer to $2,949,000. The City is actively working with Metro to close the gap and fully fund the project before proceeding with construction.

Total $ 14,238

Budget Shortfall $ 9,478

Reason(s) for delay, if any and how remedy: The original intent was to incorporate the project into the Exposition Light Rail project (as part of that project’s development, environmental clearance, design, and construction). However, due to a lawsuit filed by seven of the affected homeowners whose properties include the sewer easement, the City had to remove this section from the proposed Expo Bike Path to Santa Monica. The lengthy litigation and settlement process resulted in the need to



acquire additional ROW, which severely impacted the original project schedule and budget. Only after the settlement with the seven property owners affected by the alignment was the City able to proceed with the ROW acquisition and design phase. Basis for extension and explanation of how the sponsor has or will overcome the delay: We recognize that the project’s biggest challenge - unforeseen litigation by homeowners contiguous to the bike path alignment - has severely impacted the project schedule and budget. However, the lawsuit has been settled, and the City has been diligently meeting the terms of the settlement. ROW acquisition is currently taking place: settlements have been made on four of the 12 necessary properties. As the ROW process moves forward, the bike path alignment will become clear. The City will then be able to proceed in completing the project design. More importantly, the significance of this project, which would close a bikeway gap for greater regional mobility, far outweighs the reasons for not completing the project due to delay and escalated costs. Closing this 0.7-mile gap will achieve a regionally-significant bikeway network (consisting of Class I and Class II bikeways) for a distance of over 14 miles from USC/Exposition Park to the beach in Santa Monica. Riding on alternative routes would require travel on hilly terrain or on busy arterial streets and may be a deterrent for many stress-averse riders from using the Expo Bike Path. The City strongly believes that it is in the interest of the region not to deobligate any portion of the Metro funds. Revised/Proposed schedule:

PROJECT



Call for Project #: F5519 Total Project Cost: $732,000 Project Sponsor: City of Los Angeles Metro Grant: $586,000

Project Title: Bicycle Friendly Streets Time Extension Request: __1__ year(s) Call Awarded Year: 2011 Date of last TAC appeal: June 5, 2019 Scope of Work (350 characters maximum): This project will construct bicycle friendly street treatments to increase bicycle ridership, reduce traffic speeds, and improve safety for all modes. Treatments include at least 100 directional signs, at least 500 "sharrow" pavement markings and bicycle detectors and markings provided to at least 15 signalized intersections. The addition of traffic calming devices such as diverters, chicanes and roundabouts will be determined during the preliminary design stage and will be included where feasible. Were there any change(s) in the scope of work since the Metro Board approved of the project? If yes, please explain the change(s) and when these changes were approved: None Project status and whether last TAC recommendation was met (if applicable): Since we presented this project for a time extension last year, we had committed to advance the design efforts and the environmental approval process. To date, we accomplished the following:

- Completed initial design and cost estimate for mini-roundabouts on 4th Street. - Submitted the Preliminary Environmental Study (PES) for Caltrans review.

If project is in ROW acquisition phase, how many properties are needed and how many have been acquired since last TAC appeal. Schedule to acquire remaining properties (if applicable): N/A Is the project financially viable and fully funded? If no, explain how the project will be delivered in a timely manner should extension be granted: Yes Reason(s) for delay, if any and how remedy: The project was awarded as part of 2011 Metro Call for Projects (CFP), and a Letter of Agreement (LOA) was signed between Metro and the City of Los Angeles in July 2015. The intent of the project is to apply treatments along five bike friendly street corridors identified in the City’s 2010 Bicycle Plan that will transform them into Bicycle Friendly Streets, or in-road facilities where bicycles and motor vehicles share the roadway. The corridors are: 1) Abbot Kinney Boulevard from Venice Boulevard to Washington Boulevard, 2) Westholme Avenue from Santa Monica Boulevard to Hilgard Avenue, 3) 4th Street from Cochran Avenue to Hoover Street, 4) Astoria Street from San Fernando Road to Foothill Boulevard, and 5) Echo Park Avenue from Morton Avenue to Bellevue Avenue. As presented to the TAC Committee last June, the City was compelled by opportunities and needs to implement some of the proposed improvements prior to the actual program year of the grant funds, utilizing other funding under local programs or as part of related projects. These early improvements included “sharrow” pavement markings and bike route signs on four of the five corridors, as well as two mini-roundabouts on Westholme Avenue. City staff also recognizes that the less costly signs and pavement markings may be easily incorporated into locally-funded programs rather than administering federal dollars with its complex requirements, and have



been developing designs for the more capital-intensive traffic calming measures such as mini-roundabouts on 4th Street, part of the five bicycle friendly corridors included in the project. However, as the initial design for the mini-roundabout was complete and a cost estimate was developed, it was shown that the construction cost is significantly higher than expected because of the utility relocation involved. Concurrently, a task force formed by staff from the City Public Works and Transportation Departments had been working with a consultant to develop a new set of pedestrian and bicyclist-friendly design guidance that would include the design of mini-roundabouts. Because of the high construction cost and the imminent adoption of a new design guidance, the project team is revising the current design to avoid utility conflicts and to include the best practices prescribed in the latest design standards. Basis for extension and explanation of how the sponsor has or will overcome the delay: In the previous TAC meeting, we had committed to advance the design efforts and the environmental approval process when a one-year extension was granted. Since then, the project has completed initial design and cost estimate for mini-roundabouts, but the design required extensive utility relocation that would significantly add to the construction cost beyond the project budget. Furthermore, the City is set to adopt a new set of pedestrian and bicyclist-friendly design guidance that includes the latest best practices for mini-roundabouts. As such, the project team is revising the initial design based on the latest Departmental guidance and to reduce construction cost by avoiding utility conflicts. The project is currently awaiting Caltrans review of the PES. Based on the lessons learned during the initial design and the researches performed during the development of the new design guidance, the project team is confident that the new design will meet the dual objective of safety and cost effectiveness. The project is committed to complete final design and obligate the construction funding by June 2021, and begin the project construction by January 2022 as shown in the proposed schedule below.

Sales Tax Revenue Losses: Covid-19 Scenarios

• The six-quarter loss shows the total loss starting in January 2020 • The two fiscal year loss is moderated by over-budget sales tax revenues in the first two quarters of FY20 • Metro sales tax revenues are projected to decline $1.2B compared to budget and $1.5B compared to recent

trend due to Covid-19 • This represents a 20% decline over the 6 quarters, with a majority of the decreases in FY20 Q4 and FY21 Q1

Preliminary Impact of Revenue Loss

• Estimated gap in funding of $1.8 Billion estimated from the combined Sales Tax, Fare Revenue, Toll Revenue and Operation Expenses

• Sales tax loss estimates assume a recovery starting by September 2020

• Continuing to monitor and may revise estimates as we receive updated information

• Additional and immediate liquidity risk is the sales tax deferral aiding small businesses per Governor’s State Order on April 2nd, a $200 million impact to Metro (Cash Flow)

CARES Act states:

“Funds to prevent, prepare for, and respond to coronavirus”

“Funds provided under this heading are available for the operating expenses of

transit agencies related to the response to a coronavirus public health

emergency as described in section 319 of the Public Health Service Act, including,

beginning on January 20, 2020, reimbursement for operating costs to

maintain service and lost revenue due to the coronavirus public health

emergency, including the purchase of personal protective equipment, and paying

the administrative leave of operations personnel due to reductions in service…”
