County Plan Calls for 18 Rail Lines in 30 Years
The staff of the Los Angeles County Transportation Commission on Wednesday proposed a $114-billion master plan that calls for building 18 rail lines and doubling the number of commuter buses in the county during the next 30 years.
The plan, which is designed to be a framework for debate by county transportation planners and subject to public hearings, was detailed in a report delivered to the commission’s Finance and Programming Committee.
Linda Bohlinger, the commission’s director of capital planning and programming, said 87% of the funding will come from the two measures levying half-cent sales taxes for transportation approved by voters. Additional funding will come from the state and federal governments.
