Los Angeles County Transportation Long Range Plan Issues Survey Survey Conducted: March 17-29, 2015 220-4101

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.

1

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.

2

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% DRAFT WORK PRODUCT

4

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.
