Funds to assist transit projects

Metropolitan Transportation Authority has unveiled a plan to raise sales tax a half-cent in effort to raise $40 billion over the next 30 years. The funds would be distributed amongst rail, bus rapid, and highway transit projects.

Metro CEO Roger Snoble says, “The time is right for it. We’re either going to move forward and do something for ourselves, or we’re going to get dragged down in the quagmire of doing nothing.”

Parking meter rates increase

Under an ordinance approved by the Los Angeles City Council, the fee for removing a “boot” (wheel lock) from a vehicle will increase from $125 to $150.

The “boot” is installed on a tire of a vehicle when the owner has failed to pay at least five parking tickets. After 24 hours, the vehicle is impounded. The higher fee is expected to generate about $743,700 a year.

The council also agreed to increase parking meter rates to a minimum of $1 per hour. The increase is expected to generate an additional $18 million a year for the city.
