EXHIBIT 4 .ocal Signal Synchronization Goal The primary goal is to maintain a safe and efficient Additionally, Santa Ana has maintenance transportation network with emphasis on traffic agreements with the neighboring cities of Costa signal synchronization along major corridors. This Mesa, Garden Grove, Orange, Tustin and Fountain Local Signal Synchronization Plan will serve as a Valley to maintain and operate signals that reside in guide for the implementation and maintenance of both City limits. Since then, the City has been optimized signal timing along these corridors. The active in replacing outdated equipment and objective is to reduce delay, number of stops, fuel upgrading traffic signal infrastructure to help consumption, and air pollution emissions along with achieve its goals of maintaining and further optimizing traffic progression through the system. A progressing a safe and efficient network of streets. key focus of the City is improving safety for all roadway users.A well-timed, synchronized system As part of the effort to maintain traffic flow and will reduce collisions as a result of improved traffic reduce congestion, the City analyzed and optimized flow and will minimize diversion of traffic to local and all of its arterial streets including synchronization on residential neighborhoods, improving safety and all major arterials in the City in 2004 and again in traffic conditions in those areas. The City is also 2010. Since then, the City has participated in focused on improving emergency vehicle response numerous OCTA Regional Traffic Signal times through traffic signal pre-emption, allowing for Synchronization Program (RTSSP)corridors. The much safer travel through the signal system. Another City fully supports and commits to working with priority is supporting multimodal transportation, OCTA and other local agencies to maintain including active transportation and transit signal regional traffic synchronization on all arterials in the priority,while finding a balance between the needs OCTA Regional Traffic Signal Synchronization of all roadway users to promote a more equitable Program. transportation system. Since the previous LSSP update in 2023, the City of The City has been synchronizing its traffic signals Santa Ana has participated in RTSSP projects along since the 1970's with the implementation of the the following corridors: Multisonics Vehicle Management System. Since then, the City has continued to upgrade and improve a Edinger Avenue its traffic signal infrastructure and operations. The City's major effort in improving its traffic signal Warner Avenue operations and infrastructure began in early 1990's a MacArthur Boulevard when the City received funding from State of California Transportation System Management First Street-Bolsa Avenue grants to implement an Advanced Traffic • Tustin Avenue-Rose Drive Management System (ATMS)that included traffic communication infrastructure, new traffic signal • Segerstrom Avenue-Dyer Road systems, and incorporated many elements of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS)such as CCTV,Video Detection Systems (VDS), and Changeable Message Signs(CMS).The City is actively upgrading all communications infrastructure to Fiber Optic Cable to facilitate faster communication and synchronization between intersections and the central ATMS system. Recognizing the need to maintain uninterrupted traffic flow through adjacent agencies, the City started to work with Caltrans in the early 1990s for the City to maintain and operate the majority of Caltrans' ramp traffic signals in Santa Ana to allow synchronization with local traffic signals. Similarly, in 1992, the City of Fountain Valley agreed to share the operation of its traffic signals on Harbor Blvd with Santa Ana so Harbor Blvd could be synchronized throughout both cities.
