TRANSPORTATION and HOMELESSNESS AND POVERTY COMMITTEES' REPORT relative to establishing a Community Assistance Parking Program (CAPP) Pilot Program.

Recommendation for Council action:

AUTHORIZE the General Manager, Los Angeles Department of Transportation (LADOT), to establish a CAPP that would permit eligible homeless individuals to perform community service in lieu of payment of a parking penalty as detailed in the November 22, 2016 LADOT report, attached to the Council file.

Fiscal Impact Statement:  The LADOT reports that as the CAPP is a new pilot program, there are no statistics on the number of parking citations that are issued to homeless individuals.  However, once this program is in place, the LADOT will do both quantitative and qualitative reviews to gather statistics.  The LADOT anticipates that, initially, the volume of CAPP applicants will be high since this program is highly anticipated.  As the program becomes more popular the revenue loss to the City could be in the hundreds of thousands of dollars.  This is an estimate based on current information from the City Administrative Officer and Chief Legislative Analyst, which shows that in 2016, 3,908 vehicles are used as dwellings.  Not all of these vehicles may receive citations, but this number is representative of the homeless population using vehicles.  Although the CAPP Program does not collect parking fees, the community service that eligible individuals will perform may save the City money and in turn connect homeless persons with resources that will contribute to the City's economy in the long-term.

Community Impact Statement: None submitted.
