DISCUSSION:
Metro has historically apportioned, on an annual basis, $31 million of Federal Surface Transportation Block Grant (STBG) funds to agencies in Los Angeles County based on population through the Surface Transportation Program – Local (STP-L) funding program. In 2021 and 2022, the federal government issued a corrective action to Caltrans and the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG), finding that the practice of allocating STP-L by population was out of compliance with STBG requirements. When this took effect, it prevented agencies from programming and accessing their unprogrammed STP-L balances through the Federal Transportation Improvement Program (FTIP). The Metro Board of Directors decided at their April 24, 2025 meeting to approve using Proposition C funds to fulfill $458,569 of unprogrammed STP-L balance for the City of Pomona.
It was anticipated that the City would receive STP-L funding for “Street Rehabilitation – Districts 2 and 3” Project No. 428-2590-XXXXX-67935, which provides for the rehabilitation of City Streets within Districts 2 and 3 per the City’s Pavement Management Program. Therefore, through this agreement, Proposition C funding will be allocated to this project and will replace the STP-L funding which the City would have otherwise received.
