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 multimodal highway projects and transit projects in the planning phase of development.
Additionally, following the presentation on the Measure M short-term borrowing program at the December 3, 2025 meeting, Chair Briskman requested that staff provide additional information on federal grants at the next quarterly meeting. Therefore, this oral report also includes a summary of Metro’s ongoing efforts related to federal funding for capital projects and initiatives.
