REPORTS — CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS Mayor Boyles — Consideration and possible action to authorize the Mayor to execute the attached letter to the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority ("Metro") supporting the use of South Bay Measure M Metro funds to develop and implement a fiber optic project to assist the South Bay cities in reducing traffic congestion. (Fiscal Impact: n/a) Recommendation — 1) Authorize the Mayor to execute the attached letter to the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority ("Metro"); and/or 2) Alternatively, discuss and take other action related to this item. ADJOURNMENT POSTED: DATE: O�/. /a TIME: NAME: �r t� April 8, 2019 Board of Directors Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority One Gateway Plaza, 25" Floor Los Angeles, CA 90012 Dear Metro Board Members: The City of was surprised and confused upon learning that Metro staff intends to administratively deny eligibility of our South Bay TSM and TDM Infrastructure Construction Project application requesting $4.4 million in South Bay Measure M Multi -Year Sub -Regional Program (MSP) funding for the creation and build -out of a Fiber Optic Ring (and laterals) connecting 17 jurisdictions. We believe the proposed project is a foundational and essential component of 21st Century operational improvements and meets the intent of Measure M's ordinance and Transportation System & Mobility Improvement Program (TSMIP) language as well as its policy guidelines including the funding of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) projects. We formally request and petition the Metro Board to exercise your policy oversight role to approve a game - changing multi -jurisdictional concept that has already inspired similar initiatives now underway in Ventura County, Monroe County, NY, and Pima County, AZ. Our application conforms to Metro's objectives of reducing traffic congestion / improving mobility in Los Angeles County. It is consistent with and advances the following goal in the Measure M Ordinance Preamble (Ordinance #16-01: Los Angeles County Traffic Improvement Plan): "... Embrace technology and innovation; incorporate modern technology, new advancements, and emerging innovations into the local transportation system..." Furthermore, TSMIP section F (Page 32) states "...include those projects that once implemented, would improve regional mobility, enhance trip reliability, system performance, and network connectivity between modes, reduce user conflicts, and encourage ridesharing. Finally, Measure M guidelines (Page 34) includes "...intelligent transportation systems, transportation technology improvements..." (see Exhibit A for ITS projects listed as eligible.) Because these types of improvements are eligible under the ITS program, they should also be eligible under the MSP program. Once operational, this fiber-optic network will enable more efficient use of staff resources while enhancing the speed and effectiveness of municipal services. (South Bay cities plan to actively develop and implement a wide range of digital mobility and safety applications (See Exhibit B) that will reduce VMT and congestion on local roads.) The City of Inglewood has led the sub -region by demonstrating how effectively they can - commented pail: This is where you can'personatize' the enhance traffic management with the fiber they have installed. letter for your city tatcing exmpies from Exhibit B. We ask the Metro Board to approve the use of the South Bay's subregional funds for our fiberoptic ring and laterals project and to adopt guidelines for considering how new technologies and innovations are considered by the Board for inclusion in Measure M MSP project eligibility lists. Sincerely, cc: SBCCOG Board of Directors Metro Board of Directors Exhibit A — ITS application in the Measure M guidelines Exhibit B — List of potential applications that cities are interested in developing Exhibit A ITS projects listed as eligible in the Measure M Intelligent Transportation Systems Program include: • Multi- agency/jurisdiction system integration to improve coordination and responsiveness, and promote information sharing for highway/arterial and/or transit systems; • Advanced Traveler Information Systems (ATIS) that increase efficiency of the transportation network through congestion management, driver/person information, freight optimization, or public transportation management; • Integrated Corridor Management (ICM) deployment (e.g., changeable message signs, CCTV, communications) to improve multi- agency coordination and responsiveness, promote information sharing, and enhance operations in the event of incidents; • Transportation technology applications/solutions/systems for passenger cars, transit, freight/goods movement, infrastructure, and persons to enhance the transportation network; • Connected vehicle concepts (Vehicle to vehicle [V2V], vehicle to infrastructure [V2I], vehicle to person [V2P]) to enhance mobility, safety, and operations of the highway/arterial and/or transit system; • ITS or Transportation Technology projects consistent with the National ITS Architecture (travel and traffic management, public transportation management, electronic payment, commercial vehicle operation, emergency management, advanced vehicle safety systems, information management, and maintenance and construction management); • Other ITS or Transportation Technology projects deemed qualified by Metro; and • Pilot/demonstration projects that promote innovative and advanced technology on the highway/arterial system and/or transit reviewed and approved by Metro on a case- by -case basis.
