LA Metro 30/10 Initiative

The Concept is Simple

The 30/10 Initiative is a funding proposal that would

accelerate construction of 12 key Metro expansion projects

originally scheduled to be built over three decades – and

complete them by 2019.

The concept being explored is to use the funding for these

projects, which will be collected over the next 30 years from

the Measure R sales tax, as collateral for long-term bonds

and a federal loan so the projects can be built much faster.

The bene>ts of this initiative include generating hundreds

of thousands of construction and other jobs to improve the

local economy, reduce greenhouse gas emissions and ease

tra;c congestion.

How 30/10 Would Work

Measure R, a local tax approved by LA County voters in

2008, is funding new transportation projects and programs.

Over 30 years, it is projected to generate $40 billion for

congestion relief projects throughout LA County.

The 30/10 Initiative is a concept that is being explored is to

use the funding for these projects, as collateral for longterm bonds and a federal loan so the projects can be built

much faster. In turn, the funds coming in from Measure R

would be used to repay those loans.

*Early completion dates will ultimately be evaluated

based upon chosen delivery method for each project and

presented to the Metro Board for approval.
