This is an introduction to Countywide Planning and Development’s Fiscal Year 2018 Work Program, which initiates future quarterly updates on significant projects and programs.

Discussion

DISCUSSION

Countywide Planning and Development (CPD) is responsible for planning the Los Angeles County’s regional transit system and programming federal, state and local transportation funds for the county’s transit system, highway program and locally-sponsored, regionally-significant projects for all modes of transportation and related programs.  As such, it is at the forefront for many of Metro’s planning and policy efforts, along with having a significant role in the continuing implementation of those efforts through numerous programs.  Direction and decisions about these significant policy and planning efforts come from the Metro Board of Directors. 

This introductory overview of Countywide Planning and Development’s Fiscal Year 2018 Work Program provides the foundation for future quarterly updates to keep the Board informed about the Board’s prior and future decisions.

Countywide Planning and Development is comprised of four sections:

Long Range Transportation and Transit Corridors Planning

•                     maintain and update the Long Range Transportation Plan and its near-term capital investment plan (short range transportation plan)

•                     study, plan, design and environmentally clear new and substantially modified transit corridors involving a robust public process

•                     perform transportation modeling services

•                     provide research services

•                     facilitate subregional planning

Community Mobility Planning

•                     active transportation

•                     shared mobility

•                     sustainability

•                     transit-oriented communities/joint development

•                     systemwide connectivity

•                     systemwide design

Financial Planning, Programming and Grants

•                     strategic financial planning

•                     federal policy and programming

•                     state policy and programming

•                     grants

Real Estate Services and Property Management

•                     real estate acquisitions

•                     valuation

•                     administration

•                     asset management

•                     Union Station management

These sections are involved in six core service areas that support Metro’s mission and its family of business units:

Countywide Planning and Policy Initiatives

•                     Includes planning and policy work that have cross-agency reach and long-term impacts

Study, Planning and Design for New High-capacity Transit and Active Transportation Facilities

•                     Includes studies and projects for regionally-significant transit and active transportation facilities

Agency-wide Services

•                     Services provided to other business units at Metro

Focused Programs and Projects

•                     Work efforts that implement adopted policies and plans

Support Role to Agency Initiatives

•                     Collaboration in support of other Metro business units that are responsible for agency-wide initiatives

Ongoing Roles and Responsibilities

•                     Regular and routine tasks

A significant effort on the part of Countywide Planning and Development is the implementation of Measure M, which is transformative in its breadth and scale for Los Angeles County.  Fulfilling that monumental commitment to the voters, along with routine responsibilities, some of which are substantial, have Countywide Planning and Development fully committed in terms of available personnel, budget and time.
