SUBJECT: SB 1 CYCLE 3 CANDIDATE PROJECTS
Issue
ISSUE
At the August meeting of the California Transportation Commission, SB 1 Cycle 3 was announced, including $1.48 billion in funding available for which Metro can apply. This report presents $383 million worth of potential SB 1 funding requests for candidate projects for which Metro staff would submit applications, as well as details the evaluation process by which we selected these candidate projects. Since 2017, when the Evaluative Criteria Framework (ECF) - the strategic process by which staff selects candidate projects for grant opportunities -was shared with the Board (as detailed in File #: 2017-0546 and File #: 2019-0601). Metro has amassed a total of $2.4 billion in federal and state grant awards. Our ongoing success depends on the use of the ECF, which guided Metro applications for funding under Senate Bill 1, the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017 (SB 1) programs and the Fixing America's Surface Transportation (FAST) Act of 2015.
Background
BACKGROUND
To maximize Metro's ability to secure funding made available by SB 1, staff developed the ECF in 2017 as the set of guiding principles to support decisions on evaluation and selection of Metro projects for various competitive and formulaic funding programs. The ECF has also guided our work in evaluation and selection of Metro projects for various competitive grant programs created over the past several years. Staff is currently preparing to submit grants for SB 1 Cycle 3 and a number of these other new funding opportunities.
