Los Angeles and the One Plan to Rebuild California
– Vote yes on Props 1A, 1B all the way through 1E

One simple plan, one powerful idea: Build it now. Set something aside to pay over the long term – without raising taxes.

Like the rest of California, the Los Angeles economy depends on good schools, good roads, safe homes and clean drinking water – and we need to invest in our infrastructure to keep our economy sound.

One plan that delivers for Los Angeles:

• New lanes on Golden State, San Diego and Santa Monica freeways.
• Expand carpool lanes.
• Complete the Metro system and expand commuter rail
• Safe homes for seniors and victims of domestic violence.
• Make our schools less crowded and earthquake safe.
• Protect our supply of clean drinking water.

Business and Labor. Democrats and Republicans. North and South. Everyone agrees it’s time for one comprehensive plan for infrastructure – the one plan to Rebuild California.

Traffic and Transportation

Prop. 1A: By closing a legal loophole to prevent the diversion of gasoline sales taxes, the Los Angeles region stands to gain a stable source of long-term transportation funding. A portion of these funds would be distributed directly to cities for local transportation needs, including millions of dollars each year to Los Angeles and surrounding cities.

Prop. 1B: The Los Angeles region stands to gain a significant share of this $20 billion effort to expand and repair our most dangerous and congested highways, fund public transit and reduce air pollution.

Los Angeles’s fair share: the Rebuild California Plan would provide each region a fair share for regional improvements and local projects, including more than $1.9 billion to county and city transportation projects in the Los Angeles region.

• $1.1 billion to the region’s transit operators to expand Metro and Metrolink service, replace buses and train cars and modernize transit systems.
• $334 million in STIP funds for the region’s priority transit and highway projects.
• $321 million for the county and cities in the region to fix their local streets and roads and meet local transportation priorities.
• $100 million in state/local partnership funds.

In addition, Los Angeles is well-positioned to receive a share of $8.25 billion in funding available statewide to improve safety and reduce congestion on major highway corridors, rebuild aging roads, move goods to and from ports and reduce air pollution.

Housing and Emergency Shelter

The Los Angeles region is expected to receive more than $450 million to fund emergency shelter and housing programs, which would leverage millions more in private, federal and local matching funds and build about 15,000 affordable homes and shelter spaces.

In addition, the Los Angeles region is well positioned to receive a share of $1.15 billion in funding available to help communities build more homes closer to job centers and train stations to ease congestion long term.

Schools

The Rebuild California Plan would provide Los Angeles with a share of $7.3 billion to build new schools and repair or expand overcrowded or dilapidated school buildings. State funds pay for half the cost of each new school, and 60 percent of the funding for each major repair and renovation project.

The plan includes $500 million to help build new charter schools, and $500 million to help local schools provide career and technical education.

In addition, the Rebuild California Plan provides $3 billion to repair and expand community colleges and universities such as Cal State Northridge and UCLA.

Water Supply and Flood Control

The Rebuild California Plan helps protect Los Angeles’s supply of clean drinking water by providing $3 billion to repair and reinforce river levees in and around California’s Central Valley – one of the two largest sources of drinking water to the region.

In addition, Los Angeles would receive a share of $500 million set aside for local flood control projects and $300 million to help manage storm runoff that can pollute local streams and rivers, as well as the Pacific Ocean.
