Title
APPROVE the use of the Subregional Boundaries from the Measure M Ordinance as the Metro Subregional Planning Area Boundaries for the Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) Update to include the following exceptions:

A. Changes to Metro Subregional Planning Area Boundaries for the LRTP Update will not affect previous or future Measure R funding allocations; and

There have been two significant changes to the subregional planning area boundaries since the 2009 LRTP adoption (original boundaries included in Attachment A). During the Measure M development process, cities were asked to identify the subregion in which they wanted to participate for Multi-year Subregional Program (MSP) funding purposes. As a result, two cities, formerly of the San Gabriel Valley subregion, shifted to Arroyo Verdugo subregion. Additionally, regional facilities, such as airports and ports were removed from subregions to isolate the funding needs of these facilities that have regional significance. Staff recommends formalizing the use of the Measure M subregional boundaries for the LRTP Update (as depicted in Attachment B), as this change had not been formally adopted for LRTP purposes.
