BACKGROUND
On May 13, 1997, the City Council passed a resolution to support the reauthorization of the Federal
Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA), and to advocate regional projects
proposed by the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA). Subsequent
discussion led to the request for a briefing on ISTEA.
Arthur Sohikian, Assistant Director of Government Affairs for the MTA, will provide the Council
with a briefing on the major components of the legislation, the issues involved in this year's
reauthorization, and the impacts of the legislation on the Los Angeles region in general and Santa
Clarita in particular.
