ISSUE
To support the objectives of the Measure M Independent Taxpayer Oversight Committee in monitoring the effective and efficient use of tax revenue funds, this report provides progress updates on transit and highway capital projects as identified by the Measure M Ordinance and Expenditure Plan. This quarterly presentation is prepared by Program Management with support from Program Controls for projects in the construction phase; by Operations, Shared Mobility for ExpressLanes; and by Countywide Planning and Development for highway projects and transit projects in the planning phase of development.
Equity_Platform
EQUITY PLATFORM
This report is provided on a regular basis and includes high-level summary updates on multiple projects. Equity assessments for each project were provided as a baseline summary in October 2024. An equity assessment baseline was also provided for the I-405 ExpressLanes Project - Sepulveda Pass (Phase 1) that was added to the Complete Streets & Highways Project Update provided last quarter .
This quarter, the Link Union Station project has been added to the Transit Planning Project Update section of the report (Attachment B), and a baseline equity summary is provided below:
Link Union Station Project (Link US): The increased rail service from this project will make it easier for Metrolink riders to access key destinations, such as jobs, housing, and healthcare appointments, as well as provide access to the greater LA Metro public transportation system at Los Angeles Union Station (LAUS). The Link US Project will also result in reduced train and idling times saving as much as 5 minutes for each ride linking the counties of San Diego, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, Ventura, San Luis Obispo, and Santa Barbara to LAUS-and fuel savings and emission reductions.
Further, it is estimated that the Link US Project will generate 4,500 jobs during construction, resulting in over 200 permanent jobs. In addition, during Early Work and Phase 2 Construction, the Project Labor Agreement (PLA) and the Construction Careers Policy (CCP) will require the Construction Manager/General Contractor (CM/GC) to hire 40% Targeted Local Workers, 20% Apprentice Workers, and 10% Disadvantaged Workers.
Last, to mitigate impacts on the LAUS-adjacent William Mead Homes, the first public housing project in the City of Los Angeles constructed in the 1950s and located within a Metro Equity Focus Community, the Link US Project includes the construction of a new sound wall, designed to reduce noise externalities from existing and future increases in train operations, and proposed quiet-zone safety improvements at the railroad crossing on N. Main Street to reduce the train horn noise in the area.
The Diversity and Economic Opportunity Department (DEOD) established a 25% Small Business (with 3% designated for Micro Business (MB)) and a 3% Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE) goal, and a separate 10% Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) goal for Phase 1. The CM/GC met or exceeded the goals by making a 22.43% SB commitment, a 3.09% MB commitment, a 3.66% DVBE commitment, and a 10.37% DBE commitment for Phase 1.
