Discussion to support full grade separation of rail-highway and rail-rail crossings
the Los Angeles-San Diego (LOSSAN CORRIDOR).
ITEM EXPLANATION
Mayor Pro Tem Kulchin placed this item on the Council Agenda to discuss tl
significant Federal funding for which we would be eligible. The United Stat
Department of Transportation has begun drafting legislation for Federal transportatic
programs. Rail corridor demonstration projects could receive up to one billion dolk
in Federal funding over 4 years to construct grade separations of all road and ri
crossings in designated corridors. The proposed funding split between the Federal ai
local agencies is 75% Federal and 25% local.

The Association of American Railroads is developing an alternative proposa for the continuation of the existing Sec. 130 program. This program provide! for a federal-local match of 90%-10%. The Board would benefit from thii program as well, but to a significantly lesser extent, as the funding in thii proposal is divided between all the states, not concentrated in a few cor, ridors.
