California State Budget's Impacts On Regional Mobility
MTA chairman Zev Yaroslavsky assesses how the state budget will affect Southern California's mass transit agenda.
With the state budget a seemingly unreliable source of funding, local transit authorites are looking to the federal government and searching for creative funding solutions to finance their projects. One such proposal is Senator Kevin Murray's (D-Los Angeles) SB 314, which aims to provide the Los Angeles area with sales tax revenue for infrastructure projects. Metro Investment Report is pleased to present this interview with the new chairman of the MTA Board of Directors Zev Yaroslavsky in which he discusses the MTA's current and future projects, the promise of SB 314, the potential for the rregion to make an impression on Washington, and the state budget's impact on regional transportation going forward.
