Issue
ISSUE

At the February 2022 meeting, the Board approved Motion 35 by Directors Solis, Sandoval, Barger, Bonin, Garcetti, and Butts, expanding the definition of mobility improvements eligible for MIP funds (Attachment C). The Motion allows recipients of MIP Measure R funds the opportunity to submit new or substitute projects for Board approval and to revise scopes of work in consideration of eligible uses for Measure R MIP funds as clarified by the motion.

MIP sponsors submitted three new projects for funding, two in LA City and one in Alhambra, to replace existing MIPs that the cities propose to modify or withdraw. Staff evaluated the three new projects and seek Board approval for two projects deemed eligible in Alhambra and LA City, as shown in Attachment A.
