HOV (Puente Avenue to Citrus Avenue) projects, as necessary to preserve Los Angeles County CMIA funds;
Ms. Asuncion reported that at the February 15th Planning and Programming Committee meeting, the Committee recommended the following items to the Board for consideration at its February meeting:
• Authorize the award of a cost plus fixed fee Contract No. PS4710-2769 to Mark Thomas and Company in the amount of $4,952,298 for professional services to prepare a Utility Relocation Study that includes conceptual and preliminary engineering, and technical studies for utility relocation and structural components of the I-710 Corridor Project, specifically, for the Central Segment, between the I-405/I-710 Interchange to the Los Angeles River; and
• AUTHORIZE the Chief Executive Officer to enter into a funding agreement with the Department of Transportation (Caltrans) District 7 for an amount not to exceed $2,000,000 for FY 2011-12 through FY 2013-14 for project delivery support services for the I-710 South Corridor Project EIR/EIS.
• Consider the Measure R Alignment Motion that will allow the Measure R Highway “equity funds” to be available as a source of local match for future Call for Projects.
Ms. Asuncion announced that the Measure R Independent Taxpayers Oversight Committee Workshop is scheduled on February 21, 2012 at the Metro Board Room.
Mr. Abramson asked for clarification about the Measure R Alignment motion. Ms. Asuncion responded that the Measure R highway sub-funds are allocated to three subregions: Arroyo Verdugo, Las Virgenes/Malibu, and the South Bay. There are also other projects such as the I-605 “Hot Spot” Interchanges, BNSF Grade Separations, and I-710 South and/or Early Action projects in the Gateway Cities that are receiving Highway sub-regional funds. The Board motion is to allow projects that are on the Approved Project lists for highway sub-regional funding to use these funds as local match for future Call for Projects applications as long as the projects being considered are eligible to apply in the Call for Projects.
5. Caltrans Report (Kirk Cessna, Caltrans) Mr. Cessna reported that Caltrans announced the Cycle 10 of the SRTS Program. Caltrans will hold a workshop on February 29th in the District Office Building from 9am to 11am. Ryan Snyder has agreed to lead the training session and Caltrans staff will be there as support. Anybody is welcome to attend but an RSVP is necessary for a head count. Caltrans will hold an identical session in Thousand Oaks of Ventura Country the very next day. Any agencies in the northern part of Los Angeles County that do not want to drive all the way down here are welcome to attend this one. For more information please call Dale Benson. Mr. Cessna reported that Caltrans staff sent out the Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery (TIGER) 2012 Grant Call about a week and a half ago. $500 million of funding is available. This is the fourth Tiger Call and the amount of funding available is less than previous Calls, particularly the Tiger 1 Call. There is also a short turnaround for this Call and the applications have to come to District 7 before they are sent to headquarters. Applicants must submit a pre-application by February 20th and
Draft Streets and Freeways Minutes, February 16, 2012
3
the final applications must be submitted by the end of this month. The minimum grant request amount is $10 million and the maximum is $200 million although not more than $125 million may be awarded to projects in a single state. Additional information is available on the Tiger 2012 website. Mr. Janka asked if there is a flyer or an announcement on the Caltrans website with the details of the Cycle 10 of the SRTS Program workshops. Mr. Cessna responded that he will send out all the information to the Subcommittee.
6. State and Federal Legislative Update (Marisa Yeager, MTA) No report provided.
7. CTC Update (Patricia Chen, MTA)
Ms. Chen reported that at the January 25th and 26th CTC Meeting: • It was mentioned that Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century (MAP-21)
has a large rescission in it. $2.4 billion is the amount nationwide and since California typically receives about a tenth of that action, it might receive a rescission of about $240 million. If past experiences are any guide, the rescission will likely be taken mostly or all from the Congestion Mitigation Air Quality (CMAQ) Program. Staff would encourage project sponsors who have CMAQ funds on their projects to try to spend it down and keep it safe from the possible rescission;
• There was a status update on the I-5 Carpool Lane and Freeway Widening Project from the Orange County Line to the I-605 freeway. For a change there were many expressions of support, so the project appears to be moving in the right direction; and
• It was mentioned that the CTC and MTA staff completed a statewide; transportation system needs assessment that folds into the local roads streets assessment. Bob Leiter, formerly a high-ranking planning staff member at the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) will give a presentation on it at the TAC meeting on March 7th for those who are interested.
• Ms. Chen reported on an example of assistance staff provided to the City of Los Angeles on a matter before the CTC that City staff was not able to be present for and offered her assistance to others who may need help at a CTC meeting. She can be reached by e-mail and would be happy to help.
8. Call for Projects Update (Rena Lum, MTA)
Ms. Lum reported that staff will report to the Board in April to initiate the Call. Staff presented the results of the survey for the 2011 Call to the Board last month. Ms. Lum invited the members to provide input on potential changes to the Call process and reiterated that today’s discussion will focus on the process itself and concerns about the actual application will be addressed at next month’s Streets and Freeways meeting. Last Fall the Streets and Freeways Subcommittee, in particular, expressed a lot of concerns with the application process. Mr. Janka responded that last year, comments from the Streets and Freeways Subcommittee were forwarded to Metro’s internal Steering committee but the comments were not acted upon. There was never anything in writing for the Committee to comment on. Perhaps the members could receive something in writing beforehand so
Draft Streets and Freeways Minutes, February 16, 2012
4
people can take a look at it and make comments. Mr. Abramson asked what other issues the Committee will address. Ms. Lum responded that the application itself will be discussed next month. Mr. Abramson asked how you define “the process.” Ms. Lum responded that the process encompasses anything related to the Call schedule. Mr. Abramson responded that it is difficult to provide feedback because many of the comments come from his staff, which actually completes the applications. He is only responsible for reviewing them. His staff has commented that producing some of the exhibits is cumbersome because some of the required maps went beyond the area of the project or what is valuable. Perhaps a special forum could be set up where representatives who actually worked on the applications could be invited. Ms. Lum responded that this is the reason why staff has reached out to some of the agencies that have expressed concerns with the online application. Mr. Zohrevand asked why a hard copy of the application is required, in addition to the online application. Ms. Lum responded that not everyone is submitting applications online. Mr. Zohrevand suggested that submittal of the application be solely online. Mr. Janka responded that there have been some positives changes, namely that the process has started earlier this year. Most of the applications in the past were due at the end of December or in January and people have expressed concern over the time frame but extending the deadline has been beneficial. Mr. Forster responded that it would be helpful to see some physical document to comment on as opposed to receiving an oral presentation. Having a physical document six months in advance of the Call would allow for adequate time for agencies to read and adapt to what is being proposed.
9. Congestion Management Program (Robert Calix, Stacy Alameida, MTA)
Mr. Calix reported that he is speaking on behalf of Stacy Alameida, who is the Congestion Management Program (CMP) manager. Yesterday, a public hearing was held on the annual conformance findings for the 89 jurisdictions in Los Angeles County for the CMP. The finding results found all 89 jurisdictions are in conformance and there was no public comment so now the item is being forward to the full Board for its consideration next week. Mr. Calix also reported on the Congestion Mitigation Fee Program. He reported that four nexus analyses were completed for the four different pilot studies in San Gabriel Valley, South Bay Cities, Arroyo Verdugo, and Westside Cities. Two of the areas have given Metro the green light to share the information with the Council of Governments (COGs). Staff anticipates completing the nexus analyses for the other four subregions by the middle of March. Staff is in the process of conducting a nexus analysis in the City of Los Angeles, which has a large project list. The nexus analyses for Palmdale, Lancaster, North LA County, and Santa Clarita should be conducted and completed in the next few days, and more information can be shared with everyone if all the regions agree to share information. Staff plans to complete all the nexus analyses and pilot studies and receive the green light from all the subregions to share the information with neighboring cities and COGs by this Summer. The Board approved the proposed modifications several weeks ago because staff needed additional resources to complete this task. The hope is to go to the full Board by fall with all the information staff received from all the COGs and subregions including the results from the pilot studies. Lastly staff is going to do an economic/impact analysis of all the pilot studies to show the benefits of the congestion reduction resulting from these projects and the costs that would be felt by the communities as a result of any type of fee. This action was requested by the jurisdictions.
Draft Streets and Freeways Minutes, February 16, 2012

Mr. Forster ( ) announced that pilot studies are being conducted in the Gateway Cities COG area. One of the pilot studies are being conducted in his city. Towards the end of the last year Metro staff contacted his city for additional information but there has been no dialogue or follow-up since then. Mr. Calix will follow up with Stacy Alameida on the pilot study in his area. Mr. Forster responded that the pilot study program is a great program and anticipates that there will be a lot of good information coming from it. He just wanted to make sure that the study in his area was not forgotten. Mr. Calix responded that staff just received Board approval for additional resources and will continue with the studies.
10. LACMTA Green Construction Policy (Cris Liban, MTA)
Mr. Liban reported that in August the Board approved a bifurcated policy, which means that Metro will implement a green construction policy for all of its own projects and all projects on Metro property. Metro will collaborate with the cities and special jurisdictions that have projects within Metro property. In October 2011, staff provided an update to the Board and reported that it will form a Technical Working Group, which is to meet on a quarterly basis. Metro’s TAC also invited the TWG to provide an update on a monthly basis. The TWG has already updated the design criteria to reflect the Green Construction Policy (Policy) and met with Caltrans in November or December to compare respective policies point-by-point. Caltrans does not have a policy like this. The design specification for projects will first be implemented with the rehabilitation of the Lankershim Depot Project. The policy will also affect the Crenshaw/LAX Transit Corridor Project and the Regional Connector Transit Corridor Project. The TWG also conducted research to determine the impacts of the policy on the Local Return Program such as Proposition A, Proposition C, and the Call for Projects. The results show that for Proposition A, the mean project cost is about $600,000, but 96% of those projects are $3 million or less. For Proposition C, the mean project cost is about $700,000 and about 97% of those projects are $3 million or less. For Call for Projects, the mean project cost is about $3.5 million and 85% of those projects are $3 million or less. For projects that cost at least $2 million, the total cost for implementation is about 1-2%. Based on the research, it appears that for projects that are $3 million or less, the costs of compliance are so high that agencies do not even bother trying to implement these kinds of policies for their projects. Two more studies are about to be completed. The first study analyzes the incremental costs for these current projects. The second study analyzes the incremental cost of compliance when incremental pieces of equipment get folded into this type of program because the regulations will come into effect in 2014 and 2015. There will also be a phasing period until 2028. Both studies will be completed in about a month or two along with staff recommendations on Proposition A and Proposition C. Mr. Janka asked if the policy that the Board passed is for Metro projects or projects on Metro properties and does not apply to projects that local jurisdictions are receiving from Metro, for what kind of projects will Metro work with local jurisdictions. Mr. Liban responded that Metro would like other cities to implement projects like this, but they have no guidance. Metro is willing to assist other cities in implementing a green construction policy and provide an example of how to do so. Mr. Janka asked when local jurisdictions must implement this policy. Mr. Liban responded that the federal government is requiring all construction equipment to be green for all local jurisdictions by 2014. Metro cannot force local jurisdictions to implement this policy, but if cities want to prepare now they can use Metro as a resource. Mr. Janka asked what is the
Draft Streets and Freeways Minutes, February 16, 2012
6
makeup of the TWG. Mr. Liban responded that its members have been recommended and nominated by the TAC. Out of 14 members two are from Metro and the rest are from local agencies. Mr. Liban stated that Metro is not an agency that enforces regulations, so this policy is a contracts-based enforcement method. Since January 1, 2011, every piece of construction equipment must be registered with the Air Resources Board (ARB). Agencies must receive a registration number from the ARB for every piece of equipment they own. The number must be placed on the side of each piece of equipment. The current compliance rate is approximately 80%. Although the regulations will take effect in 2014, agencies are already starting to comply. The TWG has scheduled a contract compliance training session for Metro staff on March 7th. The TWG also plans to schedule at least two meetings with the ARB and the Air Quality Management District (AQMD) to determine how to help cities learn about and comply with ARB standards. Mr. Janka asked if it makes sense to get Caltrans to do this process earlier as well because it is a state agency that local jurisdictions will look to for guidance. Mr. Liban responded that District 7 wants to implement a Green Construction Policy and is in contact with Caltrans headquarters. Mr. Asuncion asked if the results of the studies and reports will be released to the public. Mr. Liban responded that the information will be available on the MTA website. Mr. Forster asked if this policy will be included in the Call for Projects as a requirement or simply allow for earning more points. Mr. Liban responded that any Call for Projects project that was assigned a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) prior to September 22, 2011 is not affected by this policy. The 2011 Call for Projects will essentially commence in the 2014/2015 time frame. Mr. Janka responded that there will be budget impacts because projects may cost more than initially thought. Mr. Liban responded that the project cost increase is at most 2%. Mr. Janka responded that existing and future projects budgets must account for these costs. Mr. Liban responded that more funding is available to the public to assist organizations who want to comply ahead of time. Mr. Janka asked if the technology is available for the new equipment. Mr. Liban responded that they are already available and agencies even have several options. Mr. Rios asked why the phasing period will last until 2028. Mr. Liban responded that the ARB realized that not every agency will be able to afford this equipment. Only large fleets must be converted by 2028, but agencies have until 2028 to convert all fleets. Mr. Janka suggested that Mr. Liban should give a presentation highlighting the main regulations and technologies at a future Streets and Freeways Subcommittee meeting.
11. Election of Pedestrian Representative (Subcommittee) Mr. Janka reported that at last month’s Streets and Freeways Subcommittee meeting the committee discussed the election of the pedestrian representative. At the last month’s meeting, Mr. Janka conferred with Mr. Cessna about the possibility of electing Dale Benson from Caltrans. Mr. Benson may be able to provide valuable insight into pedestrian- and bicycle-related projects and programs at Caltrans. Mr. Abramson asked if this position is an advisory position. Mr. Janka responded that the representative would be a voting member of this committee. Mr. Abramson asked if the bylaws need to be amended. Mr. Janka responded no because the bylaws only need to be changed if the representative is not from a public agency. Ms. Asuncion responded that the election of the representative also needs to be approved by TAC. Mr. Forster made a motion to elect Mr. Benson. Ms. Kim responded that adding Mr. Benson as a voting member may put too much pressure on him to attend every meeting. Mr. Janka responded that it would be more of a problem if a person were from an academic agency and that Mr. Benson
Draft Streets and Freeways Minutes, February 16, 2012

would have the time. Mr. Zohrehvand seconded the motion and Mr. Janka approved the motion. Ms. Asuncion responded that the committee needs a representative to introduce the pedestrian representative to TAC. Mr. Rios volunteered to introduce the representative.
12. New Business (Subcommittee) Mr. Janka asked Mr. Waclaw to give a quick FHWA update. Mr. Waclaw reported on the following House and Senate’s proposals for the New Authorization Bill:
• Many programs will be consolidated such as the National Highway System (NHS) Interstate Maintenance and the Surface Transportation Program (STP); and
• Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs) will have the ability to transfer up to 20% of funds from one program to another depending on project needs;
• Funding for the Transportation Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act (TIFIA) program will be expanded to $1 billion. Funding for Emergency Relief (ER) will remain at $100 million, but the time period for mercy openings will be expanded 180 days to 270 days;
• Earmarks that have not been obligated will likely be rescinded; and • The Senate Bill’s initial allocation of $80 billion was expanded to $160 billion, but
FHWA is still trying to secure additional funding. The Senate is putting together a two-year bill while the House is putting together a five-year bill. The goal is to get this signed by March 31st but if not, hopefully it can be signed by the end of the fiscal year. FHWA is waiting for Congress to determine what the ultimate plans are going to be.
Mr. Waclaw also reported that he has been communicating with the County and City of Los Angeles about using alternative contracting methods for construction projects. Mr. Waclaw stated that before FHWA approves alternative contracting methods FHWA wants to ensure that the use of alternative contracting methods are legal in California. Mr. Waclaw asked committee members to contact him if they know anything about this. Mr. Forster asked if there will be an update for the signal synchronization program any time soon. Ms. Asuncion responded that Jane White will give a presentation at the arterial ITS meeting on February 28th. Mr. Janka reported that Michelle Smith will provide an update on the EIS/EIR of the I-710 project at the next month’s Streets and Freeways Subcommittee meeting. Mr. Forster responded that the I-710 project is moving along as well. Jerry Wood, a representative from the Gateways Cities COG, could provide an update on these early action projects.
13. Adjournment (Subcommittee)
The meeting was adjourned at 10:48 AM.

A. Approve finding of no disparate or disproportionate adverse impacts from the operation of the Orange Line Extension to Chatsworth; and,
B. Approve finding that the proposed reallocation of articulated and standard size buses on Lines 40, 710 and 740 to better meet passenger demand with capacity utilization will have an adverse disparate impact on some riders, but there is substantial justification for proceeding with this major service change in order to meet Metro’s goals of achieving a balanced operating budget and complying with adopted service standards, and that studied alternatives to this service change would have a more severe adverse effect on Title VI protected populations than the indicated service change.

Measure R Regional Funds Alignment Motion
I Revised Motion by Directors Najarian, Dubois, OYConnor, and Knabe I
I
February 16,2012
Measure R Regional Funds "Alignment" Motion
In 2008 Measure R was passed by voters to move transportation projects forward to improve mobility throughout Los Angeles County through specific transit and highway projects. Not every subregion was the beneficiary of a major transit project and some sub region transit projects are included only in the 3rd decade of Measure R.
In an effort to "balance the scales," between "transit" and "highway" projects subregional Measure R funds were allocated to provide equity to those cities/subregions that did not have major transit projects included in the ordinance or were included only in the latter decades.
To further balance these scales, we believe that cities/subregions applying for current and future Call for Projects should be allowed to use these highway "equity funds" as a local match for future Call-for-Projects, as is currently the case with Prop A and C local funds.
Measure R Highway "equity funds" are local sales tax funds and should not be included in any current or contemplated MTA policy, (a) which places restrictions on state and federal funds for Call for Projects match, or (b) would impose MTA-policy requirements not anticipated in the legislative intent of the 2008 Measure R; as they were specifically assigned to those subregions for transportation and mobility improvement purposes.
The information requested at the January 2012 Planning and Programming Committee is included in Attachment A.
WE, THEREFORE, MOVE:
I. That Measure R highway "equity" funds shall be allowed to be used as a source of local match for future Call for Projects applications;
2. That Measure R regional funding categories be brought into alignment with the same guidelines used with Propositions A and C as reflected in the last paragraph of this Motion; and
3. MTA staff shall integrate this Measure R Highway subfund policy into the Call for Projects process, and will advise the Board in April on how this policy is integrated into the Call and on initiating the 201 3 Call for Projects process.

FROM: MARTHA WELBORNE, FAlA EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, COUNTYWIDE PLANNING
SUBJECT: MEASURE R REGIONAL FUNDS "ALIGNMENT" MOTION ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
ISSUE
At the January 18, 2012 Planning and Programming meeting, Directors Najarian, Dubois, O'Connor and Knabe agendized a motion to allow Measure R Highway "equity" (subregional) funds to be used as a source of local match for future Call for Projects applications. Questions arose as to the source of these funds, types of eligible projects, and a list of approved projects currently being funded. This Board Box provides the requested information.
DISCUSSION
The Measure R Highway Subfund approved by the Los Angeles County voters in 2008 included Highway Operational Improvement projects for the Arroyo Verdugo ($170 million), and Las VirgenesIMalibu ($175 million) Subregions as well as Ramp and Interchange Improvements for the 1-405, 1-1 10, 1-1 05 and SR-91 in the South Bay ($906 million), 1-605 Corridor "Hot Spot" Interchanges ($590 million), BNSF Grade Separations ($35 million) and 1-71 0 South andlor Early Action projects ($590 million) in the Gateway Cities. To clarify the definition of Operational and Rampllnterchange Improvements, we formed a Highway Advisory Committee. Representatives from each Council of Governments, City and County of Los Angeles and Caltrans composed the Committee which met six times. The work of the Committee was incorporated into the 2009 Long Range Transportation Plan approved by the Board in October 2009.
With regard to the definition clarification for Operational and Rampllnterchange Improvements, the Committee requested as much flexibility as possible. Therefore, both Soundwalls (which are not eligible for the Call for Projects) and Bike Lanes are eligible for up to 20% of the funds in the Arroyo Verdugo, Las VirgenesIMalibu and South Bay subregions. Additionally, intersection and street widening projects on roadways generally within a one-mile corridor of a State
highway are also eligible. Other types of eligible projects include, but are not limited to park and ride facilities, turnouts, safety improvements (also not eligible for the Call for Projects) that reduce incident delay to name a few. Attachment A lists the types of Board approved eligible projects.
To receive Measure R Highway Operational lmprovement funds, each subregion must submit an approved project list for a nexus analysis prior to Board consideration. The Board approved five-year implementation plans for the Arroyo Verdugo, Las Virgenes Malibu and South Bay Subregions. These approved project lists are included in Attachment B. To date, project lists have not been approved for the 1-605 Corridor "Hot Spots" Interchanges, BNSF Grade Separations and 1-71 0 South andlor Early Action projects in the Gateway Cities.
Call for Proiects
Given that Measure R funds are a relatively new funding source, there has been no prior Board direction on the use of Measure R Highway sub-regional funds in the Call for Projects process. In the 201 1 Call for Projects, we restricted these funds from being used as local match since subregional dollars were not available in all subregions. (Local match consists of a minimum required match and an optional "overmatch" that can be awarded up to 10 points based on a sliding scale).
As a policy decision, the Board has discretion to allow Measure R Highway sub- regional funds to be used as local match for the Call for Projects as long as the project being considered is 1) eligible for Measure R Highway sub-fund money; and 2) eligible to compete in one of the Call for Projects modal categories. It should be noted that Measure R Highway sub-regional funds are a different funding source than Measure R Local Return funds. Measure R Local Return funds are currently eligible as local match in the Call.
NEXT STEPS
Based on Board direction, we will incorporate changes to future Call for Projects applications and return to the Board in April for Board consideration of initiating the 201 3 Call for Projects process.

Clarification on Proiect Eligibility for Highway Operational lmprovement and Rampllnterchan~e lmprovements
The intent of a Measure R Highway Operational lmprovement is to improve traffic flow in an existing State Highway corridor by reducing congestion and operational deficiencies at spot locations that do not significantly expand the design capacity of the system and are intended to address recurrent congestion. In addition to those eligible projects on the State Highway System, for Measure R, projects located on primary roadways located generally within a one mile corridor of any State Highway, including principal arterials, minor arterials, and key collector roadways, will be considered eligible for Operational lmprovements and for ramp and interchange improvements. Examples of eligible improvement projects include:
interchange modifications (but not to accommodate traffic volumes that are significantly larger than the existing facilities were designed for); ramp modifications (acceleration - decelerationlweaving); auxiliary lanes for merging or weaving between adjacent interchanges; curve corrections/improve alignment; signals andlor intersection improvements; two-way left-turn lanes; intersection and street widening; traffic signal upgrade1 timinglsynchronization; traffic surveillance; channelization; Park and Ride facilities; turnouts; shoulder wideninglimprovement; safety improvements that reduce incident delay.
Up to 20% of the Arroyo Verdugo and Las VirgeneslMalibu Subregions' Operational lmprovement dollars may be used for soundwalls and bike lanes.
Other projects could be considered on a case-by-case basis as long as a nexus to State Highway Operational lmprovements can be shown.
