Metro Gold Line Light Rail Extension Project Will Cater to Eastside Residents

Los Angeles, CA (PRWeb) February 7, 2007 -- President Bush's proposed budget for Fiscal Year 2008 includes funding for key transportation projects in Los Angeles County, including the Metro Gold Line Light Rail Extension and new Metro Rapid lines.

The new budget calls for $80 million for the continued construction of the Metro Gold Line Eastside Extension from downtown Los Angeles to East Los Angeles. The six-mile extension has eight planned stops before it reaches the heavily transit-dependent area of East L.A. and is scheduled to open in late 2009. The funding is consistent with the funding outlined in that project's Full Funding Grant Agreement.

"I am pleased that the federal government's budget for next year includes $80 million for the Eastside Light Rail Project," said Gloria Molina, Los Angeles County Supervisor and Metro Board Chair. "Metro will put these federal dollars to hard work as we continue to build a much needed rail link between the Eastside and the rest of Los Angeles County."

Also included in the budget is $16.7 million for the Metro Rapid Bus System Gap Closure Small Starts project, which seeks to reduce passenger end-to-end trip times along eight new Metro Rapid Corridors. New Metro Rapid Lines to be established are: West Olympic, Garvey-Chavez, Manchester, Atlantic, San Fernando South, South Sepulveda, Torrance-Long Beach and Central. Metro Rapids typically reduce passenger travel times by an average of 23 percent along 200 route miles now operating in L.A. County.

"Metro's Rapid Program received a big stamp of approval today from Washington, DC.," said Roger Snoble, Metro CEO. "The fact that the President's budget includes over $16 million for expanding the Metro Rapid system is a vote of confidence that we are building an innovative, user-friendly and rapid bus network in our region."

The President's budget allocates $175 million for transit security grants nationwide, which is the same amount appropriated by Congress last year, and includes $12 million for intercity bus security grants. Los Angeles Metro is pleased with the funding and looks forward to expanding its rapid lines across LA County by the end of 2009.

These funding provisions are part of a $2.9 trillion federal budget that is now under review on Capitol Hill. Congress will deliberate the president's budget later this spring.
