Next Local PriorityAn LA County Long Range Transportation Plan
and ballot measure to fund it that: Ensures So Cal meets our clean air goalsEnsures dramatic reductions in GHG emissionsEnsures equitable TOD community development with effective affordable housing and anti-displacement programs
Integrates with Cap & Trade and TIF to do it.

2015-2016 has great significance in Southern California
• Air Quality Management Plan to meet federal air quality standards developed in 2015, adoption in Spring 2016.
• GHG Reduction Plan: Regional Transportation Plan and Sustainable Community Strategy to reduce GHGs developed in 2015, adoption in Spring 2016.
• Long Range Transportation Plan to be developed by LA Metro in 2015, will likely be the basis for November 2016 ballot measure.

Transportation GHG Emissions is almost 40% of CA’s total
Institute For Transportation StudiesUniversity of California, Davis
“Expanding public transportation, walking, and biking in cities…would result in reductions in carbon dioxide
emissions reaching 1,700 megatons a year in 2050…
Cleaning up traffic jams in the world’s cities offers the least pain and the most gain.”

LA’s Transit Transformation in MR2
![Page 16: RV 2014: People Don't Build Great Communities, Partnerships Do by Denny Zane](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110309/558d1d52d8b42a84258b4735/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Measure R2 should ensure significant $$$ for
first-mile / last-mile infrastructure
Bicycle, pedestrian & shuttle improvements
to create easier access to Metro stations and bus stops.
Improving Access to the Transit SystemImproving Access to the Transit System

Create separate Measure R2 funding category that creates significant $$$ incentives for cities to facilitate:Infill TOD with affordable housing and protections against displacement. Bike sharing, car sharing and other enhanced first-mile/last-mile strategies
Getting the Community Development RightGetting the Community Development Right

A New Idea: Measure R2 should create a“Grand Boulevards Program”
• Invest in boulevards with best transit expansion opportunities
• Balanced by geographic equity• Resurface, signal synch., lighting,
sidewalks and landscaping• “Complete streets” for cars,
buses, bikes & pedestrians• Cleaner, safer bus stops with
good lighting, digital connectivity • Mobility hubs w/ car and bike
sharing

A New Idea: Measure R2 should create a“Grand Boulevards Program”
• “Complete streets” incl. transit, bikes & pedestrians
• Expand bus service plan transition to Bus Rapid Transit (BRT)
• Signal synch, street lighting, cleaner, safer bus stops, digital connectivity, car and bike sharing.
• Urban forestry w/ Cap & Trade $$• Facilitate TOD & Affordable Housing
w/ Cap & Trade $$ and TIF $$• TIF $$ to unbundle parking to lower
development costs & facilitate TOD.

November, 2016 will be LA’s Mojo Moment
Ensure that Measure R2 funds a transportation system driven by environmental, economic and social justice principles and enables So Cal to:– meet federal clean air standards; – create the world’s most vigorous GHG reduction strategy
when joined with CA’s existing ZEV, renewable energy and energy efficiency programs, Sustainable Communities and Cap & Trade program; and,
– includes TOD with affordable housing and anti-displacement policies.
