Preamble


Amending Motion by:

DIRECTORS BUTTS, HAHN, RIDLEY-THOMAS, BARGER, AND SOLIS

Related to Item 7: Measure R Amendment Language

Given that the Board approval this month of the Measure R Transfer Amendment language is a preliminary approval in so far as final approval of the language will not occur until 2021 after the "Notice to the Legislature" time period expires, the Metro Highway staff has not forwarded the transit projects identified in the South Bay's unanimous action taken in November , 2019 to create a South Bay Measure R Transit Program for Metro Board approval of the South Bay Metro Budget Request.

However at meetings with the South Bay Transit Operators Group and the South Bay Infrastructure Working Group there was a consensus among the cities that while the Measure R Amendment language is before the Metro Board this month as a penultimate approval, the item should also contain the unanimously approved list of South Bay transit projects intended for funding through the future South Bay Measure R Transit Program (Expenditure Plan Line 17a South Bay Transit Investments). They are as follows:

1. Carson Circuit Fashion Outlet Regional Transit Center
2. GTrans Purchase of up to 15 expansion buses
3. GTrans Solar Energy Generation/Bus Fueling Infrastructure Project
4. Beach Cities Transit: Transit Operations & Maintenance Facility
5. Torrance Transit Return of the Red Car Urban Circulator Trolley
6. Torrance Transit Expansion Buses
7. Torrance TransitRegional Transit Center Parking Structure
8. Torrance Transit MicroTransit Expansion of the Torrance Community Transit Program
9. Torrance Transit Construction of Heavy-Duty Electric Vehicle Charging Station
10. City of Inglewood: Inglewood Transit Connector Project
