BACKGROUND

Consistent with our Board-approved 2015 Federal Legislative Program adopted in January of 2015, we have prepared a number of Board Reports analyzing federal legislation that, if adopted in the 114^th Congress, would have an impact on our agency. These bills are being brought before the Board of Directors as a means of advancing and protecting Metro’s authority and the transportation interests of Los Angeles County.
