Authorize the City Manager to submit selected projects to the Orange County Transportation Authority for inclusion into the 2023 Federal Transportation Improvement Program. 2. Adopt a Resolution certifying that the City has the resources to fund the projects submitted for inclusion into the 2023-2028 Federal Transportation Improvement Program, and confirm the City’s commitment to implement all projects submitted to the program. DISCUSSION The recommended actions would authorize the City Manager to request that the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) carry over federally funded projects or projects subject to a federally required action, including regionally significant projects, from the current Federal Transportation Improvement Program (FTIP) to the 2023 FTIP. The federal fund sources for those projects include Active Transportation Program (ATP); Highway Bridge Replacement and Rehabilitation (HBRR); Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ); and Demonstration (DEMO) grant funds. The FTIP is the primary programming and implementation process for projects identified in the Regional Transportation Plan (RTP), administered by the Southern California Association of Governments. The FTIP lists projects and identifies funding sources for every regionally significant transportation project that receives federal or state funds. The Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) requested that all agencies countywide carry over all federally funded projects from the existing FTIP to the 2023 FTIP if project completion occurs after 2021. The FTIP carry-over occurs every two years and marks the adoption of the new cycle. Resolution to Carry Over Existing Funds to the 2023 FTIP December 21, 2021 Page 2 2 3 4 5 To maintain the eligibility of allocated federal funds, the City was required to adopt a Resolution (Exhibit 1) listing projects to be included or amended in the FTIP and submit to OCTA by November 30, 2021. However, OCTA has extended this deadline to the end of the 2021 calendar year, to allow additional time to assess and finalize the projects to be carried over. Ultimately, the City cannot receive California Transportation Commission funding allocation approval for these projects without the requested Council-approved Resolution. Staff is requesting authorization to carry over the following projects to the 2023 FTIP: CITY PROJECT NO.
