Background
BACKGROUND
The Metro Board approved the Twenty-Eight by '28 Initiative project list in January 2018, which includes 28 highway and transit projects totaling $42.9 billion (YOE) in infrastructure investment, with the goal of completing the projects in time for the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games. In September 2018, Board Motion 4.1 (Solis, Garcetti, Hahn, Butts) directed the CEO to develop a Twenty-Eight by '28 Funding Plan.
In December 2018, Metro CEO Phillip Washington responded to Motion 4.1 by presenting a list of potential strategies that could provide funding to accelerate the delivery of the 28 projects. CEO Washington returned to the Board in January 2019 with staff recommendations on strategies to pursue from the list presented in December. At the January Board meeting, the Board approved Motion 43.1, directing staff to return in February with responses to the questions and instructions posed.
