Issue
ISSUE
Staff developed the 2021 Los Angeles County Goods Movement Strategic Plan (Plan) in partnership with a wide range of regional goods movement stakeholders at the public, private and community level. The Plan (Attachment A) reflects input, core values, priorities and strategies elicited from these stakeholders and supports Metro Board positions and planning efforts, particularly Vision 2028, the Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) and the Equity Platform.
The Plan presents the vision, priorities, Sustainable Freight Competitiveness Framework and Early Action Initiatives that were developed through ongoing stakeholder engagement over the past two years, along with an implementation strategy and equity considerations for these items. Our stakeholders agreed that the Plan should be founded on the values of equity and sustainability - values that are elevated and infused within the priorities, strategies and initiatives developed through the Plan to help create a more inclusive and sustainable economic growth and shared prosperity for LA County.
Following the presentation of the draft Plan to the Board in June 2020, staff initiated a 60-day public comment period, conducted additional stakeholder outreach and hosted a Telephone Town Hall meeting at the request of the Board to allow for more comprehensive input to be received and incorporated within the final Plan.
Staff now returns to the Board to present the final Plan and seeks adoption of the Plan and its priorities, strategies and Early Action Initiatives for Metro's goods movement planning team to pursue and implement over the next five years.
