THOMPSON 38-50 BOARD BOX ITEM #1 August 14, 2015 TO: BOARD OF DIRECTORS FROM: ANDRE COLAIACE, DEPUTY EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, PLANNING AND GOVERNMENTAL AFFAIRS RE: RECAP OF RECENT LEGISLATIVE/MEDIA ACTIVITIES Federal Legislative Activities: The American Public Transportation Association (APTA) Reports: “With the most recent MAP-21 surface transportation bill extension about to expire on July 31, 2015, Congress passed another short-term extension that will keep federal public transportation and highway programs operating through October 29, 2015. After the Senate passage of a six year bill in late July, the focus is now on the House of Representatives this fall. Senate leaders had hoped to have the House adopt the Senate-passed bill before the August recess, but House leaders indicated that they wanted to write their own bill, which would then go to a House/Senate conference committee to produce a compromise package.” On July 30th, the United States Senate passed a six-year transportation reauthorization bill by a vote of 65-34. Overall, APTA supported the bill but had concerns about the levels of transit funding and also the fact that the bill is only funded for its first three years. The overall funding is as follows: MAP21 FY 2016 FY 2017 FY 2018 FY 2019 FY 2020 FY 2021 FY 2015 Total Transit 10,695.00 11,633.55 11,882.19 12,244.09 12,720.26 13,036.24 13,360.99 Growth over FY -8.78% 11.10% 14.48% 18.94% 21.89% 24.93% 2015 Total Highway 40,256.00 41,625.50 42,896.30 44,331.10 45,759.40 46,882.70 48,032.90 Growth over FY -3.40% 6.56% 10.12% 13.67% 16.46% 19.32% 2015 Sec. 5310 Enhanced Mobility for Seniors and Individuals with Disabilities The bill grows section 5310 by 2 percent, or $5.17 million in FY2016, and authorizes it to grow by 17.31 percent, or over $44 million by FY 2021. Included in the bill is a provision for the coordination of public transportation services with other federally assisted local transportation services, ultimately aimed to develop a costsharing policy. The bill also creates a pilot program that would provide grants to finance innovative projects for the transportation disadvantaged to improve the coordination of transportation services and non-emergency medical transportation services. Access has received a significant allocation of these funds to fund vehicle purchases. 2 State Legislative Activities: According to the California Transit Association (CTA), when lawmakers return to Sacramento, they will have approximately one month to finalize and send to the Governor a final transportation funding package as part of the special session to address the state’s multibillion-dollar backlog of deferred transportation infrastructure maintenance. Various members of the Legislature have introduced a package of bills to address the approximately $72 billion funding shortfall currently faced by California’s transit systems over the next ten years. SB X1 8 (Hill) and AB X1 7 (Nazarian) are identical bills that would increase the percentage of Cap and Trade revenues continuously appropriated to support public transit from 15 percent to 30 percent. SB X1 7 (Allen) and AB X1 8 (Chiu and Bloom) are identical bills which would, beginning July 1, 2016, increase the sales and use tax on diesel fuel from 1.75 percent to 5.25 percent, with the resulting revenue made available to transit operators across the state through the existing State Transit Assistance program formula and allocation mechanisms. Local Legislative Activities: During July and the first part of August: I met with staff from Councilmember and Metro Boardmember Paul Krekorian’s office to discuss Access Services. I attended a luncheon (with Deputy Executive Director Faye Moseley) featuring County Supervisor and current Metro Board Chair Mark Ridley-Thomas. I attended two Women’s Transportation Seminar events: one featuring new Metro CEO Phil Washington and the other featuring three transportation consultants from the offices of Councilmember Mike Bonin, County Supervisor Mike Antonovich and County Supervisor Sheila Kuehl. If you have any concerns or questions, please feel free to contact me at 213/270-6007. 3 BOARD BOX ITEM #2 AUGUST 14, 2015 TO: BOARD OF DIRECTORS FROM: FAYE MOSELEY, DEPUTY EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, ADMINISTRATION RE: EMPLOYEE UPDATE Employee Promotion There were no employee hires and one employee promotion for Access this past month.

MMM was recently added to the roster of appeals specialists and will begin conducting medical appeals evaluations in the upcoming months. MMM was added to the roster in preparation of anticipated growth in appeals as initial determinations increase. In addition, MMM is located in Encino and previously Access only had medical appeals providers in the Los Angeles and South Bay areas. With the addition of MMM in the San Fernando Valley appellants in the San Fernando Valley and North County will have a shorter distance to travel which provides a better customer service experience. 36 Mobility Management Statistics Report, June 2015 Month Total Number of Calls June 520 Total Total Number of Number of M obility Non Access M anagement Customers Database Spoken List, Spoken With With 190 (37%) 55 (11%) Number of Issues with Phone Numbers 73 (14%) Number of Voice M essages 195 (38%) Number of Last Calls and No Answers 4 (1%) Number of Calls Waiting for Follow-Up. 3 (1%) For the month of June, calls made by Mobility Management staff increased by 17% from the previous month with a total of 520 calls made.
