Brief

The file moved through the Personnel and Hiring Committee in January 2026 and was adopted by the full Council on February 6, 2026, by a vote of 10-0-5. The matter is now closed following final council action on February 10, 2026.

Full summary

The Personnel Department's annual review of the City Employees Ridesharing Trust Fund covers fiscal year 2024-25. City law requires the Personnel Department's General Manager to report to Council each year within 90 days of the close of the fiscal year, identifying all money received into and spent out of the fund. The Ridesharing Trust Fund, established in 1991 under the Los Angeles Administrative Code, holds parking fees collected from City employees at City-owned or leased lots, vanpool fares, and grants or other rideshare incentive program proceeds. Those funds are then used to pay for ridesharing enhancements — excluding staff salaries — aimed at reducing City employees' solo commuting. The fund is part of the broader COMMUTEwell Program, which the Personnel Department administers through its Employee Benefits Division. The program covers most civilian and sworn police and fire employees, though workers at Los Angeles World Airports, the Harbor Department, and the Department of Water and Power are excluded because those departments run their own transportation benefit programs. A Joint Labor-Management Committee on Commute Options and Parking, with four management representatives (Personnel, General Services, the City Administrative Officer, and the Department of Transportation) and four union representatives (AFSCME, LIUNA 777, LAPCOA, and SEIU 721), oversees the benefits established in the Special Parking MOU. The report was submitted by the Personnel Department on September 28, 2025, and referred to the Personnel and Hiring Committee in January 2026. The committee — with Councilmembers McOsker, Rodriguez, and Soto-Martinez all voting yes — recommended that Council simply note and file the report, treating it as a routine informational filing with no fiscal impact. The full Council followed that recommendation on February 6, 2026, adopting the item 10-0-5, and the action became final on February 10, 2026. The file is now closed.
