MTA's plans for spending toll lane funds

Now that the county transit agency has gotten the OK to spend the $210 million in federal funding that it received in return for trying out a toll lane pilot project (see story here for more details) it is time to take a look at their spending plan, which was approved by the MTA board in September. It also includes $80 million in Prop 1B funds that are the local matching funds for the project. A lot of the spending is either directly on the toll lanes, or on 57 new buses that are going to run along the toll lanes. The $80 million "Union Division" project is a bus facility to house the new buses.

However, there are a few other things including a $55 million El Monte Transit Center expansion, that includes bike lockers, and $15 million for a Los Angeles city parking management program.
