Chamber
Testifies at METRO Hearing on Long Range
Transportation Plan
 The
METRO Board of Directors held a hearing last
week on its draft Long Range Transportation Plan
for Los Angeles County (LRTP). The LRTP
includes essential programs for Los Angeles such
as light rail transit projects, road interchange
improvements, road enhancements, grade
separations and expansion of the Metro Rail
system. Additionally, the LRTP could reduce 14
tons of pollution and 725 metric tons of
greenhouse gas emissions annually by improving
bus passenger time and increase transit capacity
by 25 percent.
The Chamber’s
vice president of public policy, Nicole
Shahenian spoke before the METRO Board in
support of funding for the Westside subway
extension and the completion of the Expo Line to
Santa Monica. At the June 26th
hearing, the Board also considered a proposal to
place an initiative on the November ballot that
would ask voters to approve a ½ cent sales tax
increase that would be used as a funding stream
for projects on the Long Range Transportation
Plan. The Board voted to defer adoption of both
the Transportation Plan and the Sales Tax
initiative until a later date. METRO will be
holding a series of meetings soliciting
community feedback on the sales tax initiative
in the month of July.
