Resolutions for the Fiscal Year 2026-27 Measure M2 Comprehensive Transportation <br />Program Grant Applications <br />November 4, 2025 <br />Page 2 <br />5 <br />4 <br />0 <br />3 <br />approximately $14 billion over the 30-year period that Measure M2 is in effect (2011- <br />2041). OCTA collects this revenue and distributes it as shown in the graphic below: <br />Santa Ana receives direct funding from the Streets component of Measure M2 in two <br />categories, Local Fair-Share (formulaic distribution) and Competitive Grants. In order to <br />qualify for both categories, Orange County cities must adhere to strict requirements and <br />satisfy 13 eligibility categories. <br />On September 8, 2025, OCTA issued a Call for Projects for the Measure M2 <br />Comprehensive Transportation Funding Program (CTFP) for Fiscal Year 2026-27 <br />through 2028-29. Approximately $42 million will be available for award on a countywide, <br />competitive grant basis via the Regional Capacity Program (Project O) for Arterial <br />Capacity Enhancements (ACE), Intersection Capacity Enhancements (ICE), and the <br />Regional Traffic Signal Synchronization Program (Project P). The CTFP is the <br />mechanism by which OCTA administers competitive grant funding for street and road <br />projects. <br />Staff proposes to submit applications totaling over $12.1 million in grant funding <br />requests, which includes all project phases and requires a local match commitment of <br />25% for Project O, and 20% for Project P. If awarded, the existing and future local <br />funding sources, including but not limited to Transportation System Improvement Area <br />funds (TSIA), Gas Tax funds, and Measure M2 Fairshare funds, will be used to provide <br />the required matching funds for the recommended projects to be budgeted in the FY <br />2026-27 Capital Improvement Program (CIP).
