SPECIFIC EXPERIENCE <br /> <br />........... Tm FERGLISON GROLIP ~-----~-'~ <br /> <br />Although our list of successes is expansive after nearly 20 years of representing public <br />agencies, we have listed below only a few specific examples. <br /> <br />· Transportation <br /> <br />The Ferguson Group has been extremely successful in securing federal transportation dollars. <br />For example, six cities,in the I-5 Corridor of Los Angeles and Orange Counties, California, <br />fought to prevent a freeway widening project that would have condemned comrnereial and <br />industrial areas along the freeway. However, capacity enhancement was necessary to <br />alleviate congestion. The Ferguson Group helped organize the I-5 Joint Powers Authority <br />(J-PA) and establish a partnership between the local govermnents, the Federal Highway <br />Administration (FHWA) and the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans). We <br />also designed the strategy to obtain federal support for improvements to the freeway, while <br />maintaining local involvement in decision-making related to the method of expansion. To <br />date, the J'PA has been slated for nearly $50 million in federal funding for studies, intelligent <br />transportation systems, intermodal centers and rail grade improvements. As a result of the <br />federal attention to the I-5 Project, the local metropolitan planning organization (iV[PO) and <br />Caltrans have included the project in local and state transportation improvement plans and the <br />state has awarded the I-5 J-PA over $200 million in formula funding for the project. <br /> <br />For King County, in the last four years, we aggressively advocated for transPortation funding <br />that has resulted in $6.35 million for park and ride lot expansions at key transit centers; $2.5 <br />million for pedestrian bridges; $3.5 million for bhses and fare care coordination; $19.8 million <br />for an interchange; and $750,000 for a water taxi. For City of Charlotte/Mecklenburg County <br />we have secured $8 million in federal funds needed to acquire fight-of-way and begin design <br />of a five-corridor transit system that incorporates busways and light-raiL <br /> <br />The Ferguson Group has also secured numerous earmarks in the annual transportation <br />appropriations bill for intelligent transportation systems. The City of Huntington Beach <br />secured a $1 million grant to install fiber optic cable and cameras to monitor arterial traffic <br />flow accessing the freeway.' The City of Inglewood has received $4 million to improve traffic <br />management along major arterials surrounding an entertainment and sports complex. <br /> <br />· Urban/Economic Development <br /> <br /> <br />
