ISSUE

The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) issued final FY 2019-20 guidelines for the SGR Program in August, 2019. The Guidelines state that eligible transit operators shall provide a proposed list of projects to their Regional Entity, as defined by Public Utilities Code (PUC) Sections 99313 and 99314. For Los Angeles County, Metro is the Regional Entity. Metro is required to submit a combined project list to Caltrans by September 1, 2019. The submittal package must include an adopted Board resolution approving the Project List and certifying that Metro will comply with all conditions and requirements set forth in the certifications and assurances documents.
