With M2 only in year 5 of a 30 year program, significant progress has already been made on delivering projects and programs thanks to early action planning. For example, planning for the entire freeway program is underway with 12 of 27 freeway project segments either complete or in construction, more than $1 billion in streets and roads funding has been provided to local jurisdictions to initiate local street and roads improvement projects, 52 rail-highway grade crossings have been enhanced, ten intracounty Metrolink trains have been added and services to support seniors and persons with disabilities has been provided. Additionally, 1,300 acres of open space have been acquired and preserved for habitat preservation, 213 million gallons of water saved and nearly 500,000 cubic feet of trash removed preventing it from entering into our waterways.
