The Regional Council of the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) announced the allocation of $80 million in state grant funding for transportation and land-use projects in the region. The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) will be the primary recipient, receiving $41.7 million, while the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) will receive $13.3 million.
This allocation is part of a $237 million state Regional Early Action Planning (REAP) grant aimed at supporting transportation and housing initiatives in Southern California. This $80 million distribution represents the first local allocation of the grant.
Metro will utilize the funding for various projects, including the North Hollywood Transit Center, an e-bike share program in the San Gabriel Valley, a regional traffic reduction study, and an expansion of the Metro bike share program. OCTA will use the funds for projects such as a Fullerton Park and Ride site, a bikeway connectivity study, and a Harbor Boulevard transit signal priority project.
In addition to funding for Metro and OCTA, other projects in Riverside, San Bernardino, Ventura, and Imperial counties will also receive allocations from this grant.
