EQUITY PLATFORM
Local Return receives a 17% revenue share of the Measure M Ordinance funding that is apportioned to local jurisdictions by population. Under Board-adopted guidelines, this item enables the programming of funds to recipients to support the implementation of various transportation projects and improvements throughout the region. This includes improvements for public access, paratransit services for seniors and individuals with disabilities, and transit subsidies for students and low-income residents. Local jurisdictions make the determination of the projects that are most beneficial for their communities.
