RECOMMENDATION
Title
RECEIVE oral report on Local Return programmed revenues and uses for Los Angeles County jurisdictions to support discussion on the effective and efficient use of funds.
Issue
ISSUE
To support the discussion on Local Return revenue amounts programmed and usage by each Los Angeles County local jurisdiction, this report provides an annual update and presents the status of Local Return funding in the second quarter of fiscal year 2025 (FY25). This includes audit updates, a summary of Proposition A and Proposition C fund uses within the second quarter, and updates on current points of concern with Metro’s Board of Directors.
Equity_Platform
EQUITY PLATFORM
Local Return receives a 25% and 20% revenue share respectively of the Proposition A and Proposition C funding that is apportioned to local jurisdictions by population. Under Board-adopted guidelines, this item enables the programming of funds to recipients to support the implementation of various transportation projects and improvements throughout the region. This includes improvements for public access, paratransit services for seniors and individuals with disabilities, and transit subsidies for students and low-income residents. Local Jurisdictions make the determination of the projects that are most beneficial for their communities. Staff will continue to support jurisdictions in meeting Local Return requirements through workshops, multiple written communications regarding deadlines and one-on-one briefings with the goal of improving program compliance. The number of audit findings has decreased each year since FY22.
