How will the Eastside Transit Corridor Phase 2 be funded?
In 2007, Los Angeles County voters approved Measure R, a half-cent sales tax measure that will generate an estimated $40 billion dollars over 30 years, including $1.27 billion for the Eastside Transit Corridor Phase 2 project. Current projections show funding for the Eastside Transit Corridor Phase 2 project will be available after 2022. Metro is also exploring other federal and state funding sources that may help to complete the funding and/or expedite the implementation of the project. In addition, Metro is working with cities to define what local contributions may be needed to comply with the sales-tax measure.
