Los Angeles County Transportation Long Range Plan Issues Survey

Key Findings
Support for both measures is initially strong and the
intensity of support – those saying definitely yes – increases
for both measures after education.
Self-reported likely November 2016 voters are less
supportive of the measures and many of their individual
features than all County residents. However, support
among self-reported likely November 2016 voters appears
relatively strong.
The Augmentation/Extension Measure is susceptible to
a simple explanation of what the measure actually does,
after which support drops to below two-thirds.

DRAFT WORK PRODUCT
Key Findings Continued
To be successful, a measure must include funds for a
package of local roads, freeways and public
transportation improvements.
Specifically: freeway improvements; traffic congestion
relief; keeping fares low for seniors, the disabled and
students; earthquake retrofitting bridges and tunnels;
and pothole repairs and local street paving top the list
of many important features.
Selecting voter-preferred individual regional projects
can make a difference in passing the measure.

DRAFT WORK PRODUCT
Key Findings Continued
Concern about the growing population of drivers and the
desire for traffic congestion relief are top reasons why
all residents and self-reported definite voters would be more
inclined to vote yes on a measure.
Metro continues to have more favorable ratings among
all residents and self-reported likely November 2016 voters
than the Los Angeles County Metropolitan
Transportation Authority.

Methodology
Conducted a Random Digit Dial Survey by telephone (landlines and cell phones) between March 17th – March 29th, 2015
Interviews with 1,414 Los Angeles County residents ages 18 years or older
Survey was available in English and Spanish
Some percentages may not sum to 100% due to rounding
Margin of error for the full sample is +/- 2.6% and half the sample is +/-3.3%
Margin of error for each Metro Planning Area is +/-6.9% and half sample is +/-9.8%

Methodology Continued
Margin of error for self-reported registered voters likely to vote in the November 2016 General Election (n=863) is +/-3.4% and half sample is +/-4.8%
Note: This sample of self-reported registered likely Nov 2016 voters is different from a typical voter population, which is based on actual registration information and voter history.

In 2008, Los Angeles County voters approved a
one-half cent traffic relief sales tax for 30 years.
The measure I just described would make that
sales tax permanent and increase the county
transportation sales tax by one-half cent.
