Issue
ISSUE

Metro's Board of Directors (Board) issued Motion 38.1 on June 27, 2019 (Attachment A) that authorized the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) to transition the pilot Metro Business Solution Center to a permanent program and expand the program to all upcoming light rail transit projects in the Measure M pipeline inclusive of the "Four Pillar Projects" identified as part of the "Twenty-eight by '28" Initiative.
