LA Metro: $8B FY22 Budget Proposed Written by Marybeth Luczak, Executive Editor
The Crenshaw/LAX (rendering above) and Regional Connector projects are slated to begin pre-revenue operations and testing in FY22.
The Los Angeles Country Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) has released an $8 billion budget proposal for FY 2022 that prioritizes service restoration to pre-pandemic levels; the Board will consider it later this month.
The proposed FY22 budget (download below), which covers the July 1, 2021-June 30, 2022 period, is “balanced and focuses on recovery from the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic through an equity lens,” Metro reported. It represents a 14.4% increase over FY21 primarily due to $682.5 million in additional funding from the Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations (CRRSA) Act, the agency said.
