The CPC was formed in 2012 to act as the Transportation Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act (TIFIA) Loan conduit borrower for the Crenshaw/LAX Transit Corridor Project (Crenshaw/LAX Project). CPC Bylaws, Article 5.2(b), require preparation of an annual budget for administrative support services which are provided by Metro. A summary of the proposed budget is provided as Attachment A.

During FY16, CPC continued to receive disbursement of TIFIA loan funds from the United States Department of Transportation (USDOT). The TIFIA loan is secured by Measure R Sales Tax revenues. In FY16, the CPC received seven disbursements of TIFIA loan funds in the amount of $442.6 million. These loan disbursements were then advanced to Metro for the purpose of reimbursing the agency for eligible Crenshaw/LAX Project expenses. In addition, the CPC paid $48,666.00 in expenses for legal service and loan administration fees as well as other charges. The CPC was reimbursed for these expenditures by Metro.
