Purpose of the JPA
The North Los Angeles County Transportation Coalition was first informally assembled in 1995 as a method of coordinating information and providing a forum for discussion on regional transportation issues of mutual interest and concern amongst the cities of Palmdale, Lancaster, Santa Clarita, and the unincorporated areas of the North Los Angeles County. While the subregion was not an organization that operated under a formal Joint Powers Agreement or Memorandum of Understanding structure, the cities and County have met regularly to discuss transportation issues of mutual interest, e.g. mobility programs, initiatives, and studies.
Recent legislative developments like Measure M and SB1 gave the coalition reason to formalize into a JPA to ensure the prosperity of the subregion. The JPA was officially formed at the Board meeting on Monday, May 14, 2018.
The mission of the JPA is to improve the movement of people and goods in the North Los Angeles County region through the development of policies and strategies that directly lead to the implementation of transportation projects and programs that address critical north county transportation issues, promote economic development, and maximize transportation funding opportunities for member jurisdictions. Ultimately, the Authority will provide a vehicle for the member jurisdictions to prioritize and coordinate regional transportation planning to build a more complete transportation system between the member jurisdictions.
