Policy Pillars
Board has established prioritization and investment framework
FLM Board Directive(Motion 14.1)
Equity Platform
Active Transportation Strategic Plan

Deep Dive and Discussions
In this section…
• Active Transportation Corridors Category
• FLM Priority Network Category
• Partnership Roles
• Timely Use of Funds
Participation Requested
19
• Prioritized corridors identified in ATSP
• Identified Top 15 corridors
• Fund corridors that are 3+ miles, cross multiple jurisdictions (2+)
• More complex & challenging to implement
• Funding early phases (environmental, early design)
• Compete for ATP and other funding for later phases (final design, construction)

What’s your take on…
• Interest in implementing corridors identified?
• Issues with corridors?
• Issues with any jurisdictions participating?
• Impediments?
• Other?

Deep Dive: FLM Priority Network Category
22
Concept
• Create visible, functional “transit zone” around station
• All toolkit components (crosswalks, lighting, seating, more)
• Focused, smaller scale intervention (1-2 blocks)
• Streamlined delivery
• Prior planning not required
• Very limited application process

Deep Dive: FLM Priority Network Category – Reactions?
27
• Metro coordinates through environmental phase
• Project sponsors commit:
In-kind staff support to Metro/consultant project team
Facilitate review and permitting
• Project sponsors lead final design/construction
Deep Dive: Partnership Roles – Active Transportation Corridors
28
• TBD, flexible case by case
• Suggested model
Metro to lead initial work (scope development)
Handoff to jurisdiction for remaining work
> Design, environmental (if needed)
> Construction
• Variations
Metro to lead project delivery with assurances/caveats
Metro to lead some components (e.g. improvements on Metro property)

29
What’s your take on…
• Metro leading through environmental phase for corridors?
• Metro leading scope development for FLM?
• In-kind commitment, staff liaison?
• Streamlined review, permitting?
• Contracting approach?
• Follow up consultations (pre-solicitation)?
• Other thoughts?
Deep Dive:Timely Use of Funds
30
• Funds programmed on phase-by-phase basis
• For project sponsors leading the phase:
12 months to begin expenditures
36 months to complete contracted phases
1 time extension per phase
Metro reserves ability to rescind/reprogram
• For project sponsors supporting a Metro-led phase:
60 days to execute Cooperative Agreement or MOU
Maintain staff liaison throughout
