(50) 17-0002-S137 TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE REPORT relative to authorization to submit a grant application as a co-applicant to the State of California Strategic Growth Counicil Transformative Climate Communities (TCC) Round 6 Program. Recommendation for Council action: AUTHORIZE the Los Angeles Department of Transportation (LADOT) to apply. as a subrecipient to the Housing Authority of the City of Los Angeles, in an amount up to $5,014,000, from the TCC Program and, should this application be selected for the next round in the funding process, DIRECT the LADOT to report to Council regarding implementation of the grant and the necessary authorities to accept the grant funds. Fiscal Impact Statement: The LADOT reports that there is no impact to the General Fund. The TCC Round 6 grant requires leverage funding of at least 50 percent of the total requested grant amount. The LADOT requests authorization to apply for $5,014,000 in TCC Grant funds. For the Mobility Wallet component, LADOT has identified $1,007,000 in Measure M funding to meet the leveraging requirement. Since the Commuter Express 142 line is an existing service, the Transit Operations component of the application will reduce the City’s Prop A contribution of $17,140,000 by $3,000,000. The LADOT has identified $1,500,000 of existing Prop A funding to meet the leveraging requirements for Transit Operations. HACLA is responsible for its portion of the required leveraging funds. Attachment A details the proposed funding structure.
