EQUITY PLATFORM
The Project administrated by Caltrans has federal aid and a DBE commitment goal based on the contract bid amount for federal aid projects. These DBE goals were calculated project by project: I-5 North HOV (SR-134 to SR-118) is 8%, I-5 South HOV (Orange County line to I-605 is 13%, , I-405 Crenshaw Aux Lane is 14% . SR-71 South Segment did not have federal participation, and Caltrans did not establish a DVBE goal, however, the contractor claimed and achieved 0.76 percent in DVBE participation. Metro’s contribution to this project is for Construction Capital and is limited to grant management process through Funding Agreements (FAs). Caltrans led and prioritized all elements of the proposed transportation improvements, including procurement, the environmental process, outreach, final design, and construction. Caltrans independently and in coordination with the local jurisdiction determined community engagement process specific to the type of transportation improvement. Throughout the construction phase, outreach efforts consist of sending press releases to the cities, communities, media outlets, and elected offices regarding construction work. Caltrans Public Affairs unit responds to constituent inquiries. Community meetings were held prior to construction and are scheduled on an as-needed basis (i.e., upon request of stakeholders). Progress reports and updated information is posted on Caltrans and Metro websites. Every effort is made to avoid, minimize and/or mitigate construction impacts along these corridor communities. For example, most of the projects include building sound walls to mitigate noise levels at various locations throughout their respective project limits to help improve the quality of life for residents. Any unintended equity impacts that may arise will be responded to on a case-by-case basis by appropriate project partners.
