Measure M Master Guidelines - Visionary Projects
Measure M will generate significant funding in the next 40 years to help develop a world-class and sustainable transportation system in Los Angeles County.
To compliment Measure M objectives, the Visionary Project Seed Funding aims to attract innovative and modern transportation solutions.
The overarching goal for the Visionary Projects category should be to attract private organizations which can help accelerate regional transportation solutions.
Furthermore, the Visionary Projects category should focus on projects that connect major trip generating centers and destinations throughout the County.
The Visionary Project program should allow for the private industry to apply for these funding, rather than requiring a partnership as prescribed in the draft guidelines.
