# LA Metro Funds Los Angeles County Transportation Projects

On October 26, 2026, the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority approved nearly **$119 million** in Measure M and Measure R programming for local transportation projects across Los Angeles County, plus up to **$35 million** in additional Measure M funding for Long Beach’s Shoreline Drive Realignment Project. The programmed funds support street and school-zone safety, active transportation, transit access, mobility hubs, and roadway improvements. These are funding approvals, not construction solicitations or contract awards; the Shoreline Drive project also has a separate $30 million federal award.

- The funding points to potential future project scopes in transportation safety, active mobility, transit access, and roadway improvements. Contractors can use the announced priorities to assess relevant capabilities and local market interest.
- Procurement professionals should distinguish approved funding from an open competition: the announcement does not provide solicitation schedules, contract values, or procurement requirements.
- Firms interested in Long Beach infrastructure work can note the additional Measure M funding and separate federal award as project funding context, without treating either as a contract opportunity.
