BACKGROUND In December 2010, the Metro Board approved the 2011 Call for Projects (Call) application package. The Call is a competitive grant process typically held biennially that cofunds new regionally significant capital transportation projects. The 2011 Call will be highly competitive, with up to 88 cities and the County of Los Angeles seeking an estimated $100 million in available funding for Fiscal Years 2016 and 2017. The 2011 Call schedule is as follows: • January 28, 2011 - Applications due to Metro • February to May 2011 - Applications ranked by Metro staff • July 2011 - Project and funding recommendations released to public • September 2011 - Metro Board adopts Call recommendations City staff met to discuss projects that would be good candidates for this funding opportunity. Projects were selected based on need, project readiness, grant requirement fit, and budget, among other considerations. Should any project not receive grant funding, staff will place the project on the City's unfunded list for future consideration. Transit staff also evaluated potential projects for the Call, but none met the selection requirements for the Call's funding period. The City has prepared applications for the Call as outlined below.

Successful projects will be funded in Fiscal Years 2016 and 2017. ATTACHMENTS Project Locations Map IN LLJ N W / o 0D 0 w c p w a w m m w m W W FO wfn W� �V W W m g W -j>O > �_ W� Jar.
