anticipates requesting the award of funding at a future Board meeting in Spring 2014.

5. Bike/Pedestrian Coordinator to Metro TAC Update (Renee Berlin/Fanny Pan, Metro)

Ms. Pan provided an update on the Bike/Pedestrian Coordinator solicitation. As of August 30th, Metro has received seven applications from the Cities of Glendale, Long Beach, Los Angeles, Pasadena, Burbank, Vernon, and Los Angeles County Department of Public Health. There was one additional application received yesterday, September 18th, more than two weeks after the deadline. That application will not be considered. At last month’s meeting, the Subcommittee agreed to form a small working group to evaluate the applications. Staff is hoping that the working group will meet in the next two weeks and return to the Subcommittee in October with their recommendation for one alternate Bicycle coordinator and one alternate Pedestrian coordinator. After the Subcommittee’s approval in October, recommendation will be forwarded to TAC for final approval at November’s TAC meeting. Staff will prepare the Board report on the TAC membership structure change as well as updates to the TAC by-law for Board consideration in the November/December cycle. (This Board item is later delayed to the January 2014 cycle) The following subcommittee members have volunteered to be part of the working group: Bahman Janka, Fulgene Asuncion, Michelle Mowery, and Dale Benson and Ken Johnson. Mr. Janka proposed that the Subcommittee can discuss and vote again at their October meeting on whether to recommend one or two members to serve on TAC. Mr. Janka stated that he will attend the November TAC meeting to present the Subcommittee recommendation.

6. Environmental Support for Metro Highway Program (Cris Liban, Metro)

Mr. Liban presented on Energy and Environmental Considerations in Highway Projects. Mr. Liban provided an overview of the following environmental programs that are currently underway considering highway projects: Metro Energy Program, Biomethane Plan, Low Impact Development and Sustainable Design, Sustainable Construction Efforts, Climate Change Management, Electric Vehicle Charger Program, and other efforts. Based on the Energy Management and Conservation Plan, Metro looks at all of its projects and identifies opportunities to use renewable energy in all of them. For example, Metro’s Environmental Compliance Department worked together with the Highways Program on the High Desert Corridor project to understand how to use the alignment not only for renewable energy installations but also for transmission purposes. The objective is to understand how to attract public-private partners into the project and make the best use of the project alignment. Other elements within the Energy Management Program include: Metro Renewable Energy Policy, Energy Corridors, and Energy Blue Ribbon Collaborative which is a partnership with the utility companies (DWP, Southern California Edison, and gas company) to help understand how to reduce costs in operations for projects and to ensure that Metro understands all the incentives and feasibility of renewable installation and transmission in highway projects. In October 2012, Metro looked into three potentials for natural gas in the context of landfills and treatment plants. Metro has been advocating for the approval of a biomethane plan, which was recently approved by the Board. Metro will procure for biomethane use on Metro buses. Biomethane is a renewable energy and creates low-carbon fuel standard credits. Carbon credits were about $35/ton before Metro approved the use of biomethane. Now, carbon credits are $80/ton. This is a potential source of funding as well as an opportunity to reduce carbon emissions. Other construction innovations are 300,000 tons of demolition materials that were recycled on the I-405


3

project and the Gold Line Foothill extension I-210 Iconic Bridge, which is 92% locally funded. Under Climate Mitigation and Adaptation, Metro revised the design criteria with specifications to accommodate the potential significant impacts on climate. Metro is able to reduce climate impacts by combining weather/climate information with infrastructure monitoring and maintenance, by looking into planning and construction options, alignment alternative, labor schedules, integration of transit and highway vulnerability and critical issues and solutions. Mr. Liban also reported on the Metro's Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging Network in Los Angeles. This is the first EV charging network in the country that is operated by a public agency. The EV chargers that are located at Metro stations are being promoted as a First and Last Mile solution. These charging stations are located to facilitate access to the region’s transportation system. The cost is $1 per hour and $3 for the entire day to charge vehicles. Currently, Metro is creating a parking ordinance for the stations. Other activities underway concerning highway projects and energy management include: temporary parking and 'green' showcase located in five locations, FTA climate change adaptation pilot, green construction equipment initiative outreach and toolbox, low carbon fuel standards program, and tracking congressional, legislature and local ordinance activities. More information can be found at www.metro.net/projects/ecsd.

7. LACMTA Green Construction Policy (Cris Liban, Metro) Mr. Liban reported an update on the Green Construction Policy. Metro’s Green Construction Policy has been implemented since August 2011. The first affected project was in May 2012 and there has not been a significant increase in project costs since then. GCP requirements are incorporated in all Capital Projects including, Crenshaw/LAX Transit Corridor Project, Regional Connector, as well as, the Westside Extension. The Crenshaw/LAX Transit Corridor project is the first project that will be monitored for Green Construction Policy compliance. This project will also be the first one that will be using the forms Metro has compiled to track greenhouse gas emission productions and all the costs associated with it. Metro’s Green Construction Equipment Initiative website with the Green Construction Policy toolbox can be found at http://www. Metro.net/projects/gcp. There have been a couple of training sessions conducted in the last few months. On September 24th, Metro along with the Air Resources Board will be conducting trainings with the American Public Works Association in the Department of Public Works building in Alhambra. The training is open to the public and anyone interested can send a request to Fulgene Asuncion. The training will cover policy and regulations related to Metro’s Green Construction Policy. Metro will be conducting additional training, complete an analysis on major construction projects, implement the policy in all different projects agency wide, and report to the Board. Metro will not implement the policy in projects that are not controlled by Metro.

8. State and Federal Legislative Update (Michael Turner/Raffi Hamparian, Metro)

Mr. Turner provided an update on current state legislative operations. Metro was able to move forward with AB122 which exempted all transit agencies from PEPRA 13 ( c ) until June 2015. PEPRA 13 caused cessation of federal funds since last year. The bill provides a 15 month exemption form the states pension reform law. There will be legislation pursued by Sacramento and the bill provides contingencies for the law based on the disposition of the law suit. If PEPRA is found to conflict with federal law then the

http://www.metro.net/projects/ecsd

exemption will become permanent for all transit agencies, if the provision is found not to conflict then there is no exemption. Mr. Turner reported on the passage of AB401 which authorizes an expanded use of design-build on the state highway system; a key measure because the design-build authority is relatively limited in the state. Mr. Hamparian provided an update on current federal operations. The White House came out with a Statement of Administration Policy, which is a veto threat for Continuing Resolution (CR) that the House GOP has offered. The House GOP Continuing Resolution would: 1) continue the operation of the federal government through December 15th, 2) defund the Affordable Care Act, also known as, Obama Care. The funding level set in the House CR is $986 billion, which is slightly more than the $967 billion proposed if the amount of sequestration funds were figured in. Former Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, responded that she would be willing to offer democratic votes for the plan if the Obama Care was taken out of the bill and if the CR funding level was consistent with the senate budget resolution figure of $1.05 trillion. Metro’s Government Relations Department will be meeting to find out what impacts a government shutdown will cause on the transportation industry.

9. Caltrans Report (Dale Benson, Caltrans)

Mr. Benson provided a Caltrans update. Caltrans received a report from Metro regarding the Obligation Authority (OA). Caltrans has exceeded their OA for the year, which was set at $318 million. There are a number of projects in Sacramento that are waiting for redistribution of funds state-wide in order for them to move forward. Caltrans’ South Tehachapi meeting has been renamed to Southern California Local Assistance meeting. The next meeting will be held at the Caltrans District 12 in Irvine on Thursday, September 26th from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm. Mr. Benson announced that Caltrans will be having an “Understand Bicycle Transportation” all day course. It is free and will be held at the Caltrans office. The course is designed for consultants, local agencies, Caltrans employees and other transportation professionals. Also, Mr. Benson informed the subcommittee that the Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) results will be coming out in late October.

10. CTC Update (Patricia Chen, Metro) No report was provided.

11. 2013 Call for Projects (Rena Lum, Metro)

Ms. Lum reported on the Call for Projects. In August, 10 sponsors with 16 projects appealed to TAC appeals and TAC recommended funding for three projects with a total of $4.2 million from the 2013 Call TAC Reserve Funds. Call for Projects team will be going to the September 2013 Board meeting with an item asking for approval of the 2013 Call. It programmed $199.39 million in funding for a total of 96 projects and conditionally approves the Call subject to later reviews by the Board once the state and SCAG finalize the project selection process for TAP. On September 18th, Planning and Programming committee approved the Call and also approved a motion that will provide funds to a Palmdale project worth $3 million, once Call deobligation funds become available. Surveys will be distributed to sponsors for feedback on the Call for Projects


5

process. Ms. Lum also informed the subcommittee about a tentative sponsor workshop that will be held on October 14th.

12. South Bay Highway Program Strategic Transportation Element (Isidro Panuco, Metro) Mr. Panuco reported on the South Bay Measure R Highway Program-Strategic Transportation Element (STE). The objective of the STE is to provide guidance to ensure consistency in achieving Measure R goals, guide the selection of future projects in the South Bay freeway and highway network for Measure R, establish a plan for program evaluation and system monitoring, and ensure that the project development and implementation will lead to the successful realization of the desired and expected benefit to the operations of the South Bay highway network. According to Caltrans District 7 growth trends, congestion will continue to grow in Los Angeles County. Based on peak hour traffic data, projects need to address bottlenecks and congested areas on South Bay freeway corridors. There are four goals for the STE: 1. Improve local and regional mobility and access, 2. Improve travel reliability and traffic safety, 3. Reduce system demand with multimodal strategies, and 4. Deliver projects efficiently and cost-effectively. Project sequencing is essential for progressive mobility gains and it also prevents constant disruption of traffic with construction activities by combining projects that make sense. By building these projects in sequence, commuters will get operational benefits. There are a number of projects that have been selected in the South Bay for this element. Currently, Metro is in discussion with the county to find three or four metrics that can measure vehicle miles traveled delays and hours delays and how the county can interpret those. With sensors on some arterial streets, technology can be used as a source to move these projects forward.

13. I-405 (OC Line to LAX) HOV to HOT Conversion Feasibility Study (Kathleen McCune, Metro) Ms. McCune reported on the I-405 HOV to HOT Conversion Feasibility Study. The study was brought about by a Metro Board motion for staff to study the feasibility of converting the I-405 HOV lanes into HOT lanes as a result of HOT lanes potentially being implemented on the I-405 in Orange County to the LA/Orange County line. On September 2010, the motion was made by Directors Dubois, Knabe, and Villaraigosa to: 1. Evaluate LA County traffic impact of OCTA I-405 HOT lane project; 2. Review environmental impacts of OCTA I-405 HOT lane project; 3. Determine feasibility of I-405 HOT lane from OC line to LAX. Currently, two of the three objectives have been completed. The feasibility study is underway. The objective of the feasibility study is to evaluate the feasibility of HOT lanes on I-405 between Century Blvd. and I-605 and prepare an initial concept of operations. There are a total of four alternatives currently being considered. In the Screening and Evaluation of Alternatives phase, the goal is to determine the best alternative to be moved forward and be used in the preparation of the preliminary concept of operations. Four HOV to HOT conversion alternatives will be screened according to traffic and revenue performance, constructability and feasibility to meet Metro’s Long Range Transportation Plan’s (LRTP) goal of improved mobility. One of the big issues along this corridor is transit service. Currently, there is no transit service available due to there being no reliability with travel time. HOV lanes along the corridor are congested. Metro will be looking into ways of providing better transit service either through direct access/exit ramps, feeder service and other means. Next steps include: refine and develop schematic plans, prepare traffic


6

and revenue forecasts, identify potential environmental constraints, identify operational concept and policy considerations, and determine overall concept feasibility. Stakeholder meetings will be held in the upcoming months.

14. Complete Streets Policy (Sarah Jepson, Metro) Ms. Jepson reported on the Complete Streets Policy. The sustainability committee in 2011 adopted a health and active transportation motion that directed staff to look at all the ways that metro is supporting active transportation within the agency. Metro does a lot to support walking and biking across the county. One way to take a step further is to develop a complete streets policy. The interest in developing a complete streets policy was reiterated with the board approved the Countywide Sustainability Planning Policy implementation plan. There are a number of complementary policies currently in place. For example, US DOT Policy Statement on Bicycle and Pedestrian Accommodation, Complete Streets Act of 2008, Caltrans Complete Streets Policy, Draft City of LA Mobility Element, and many more. Some of the goals for the draft policy include: establish a Standard of Excellence for Active Design for projects Metro Implements and/or funds, establish active transportation improvements as integral elements of the countywide transportation system, track and measure walk/bike use over time, and leverage and partner to achieve a "complete" system fully integrating active transportation improvements. Ms. Jepson provided the subcommittee with a descriptive comparison between the other regional agencies efforts to implement a Complete Streets Policy. Important component of the drafting of a complete streets policy is the stakeholder workshop which will be held sometime in November. Draft should be completed by February where it will be available to the public for feedback and finalized by spring 2014.

15. New Business (Subcommittee)
