TOPIC: Grant Applications for the Fiscal Year 2022-2023 Measure M2 Comprehensive
Transportation Program
AGENDA TITLE
Adopt Resolutions Authorizing Grant Applications for the Fiscal Year 2022-2023 Measure
M2 Comprehensive Transportation Funding Program (Non-General Fund)
RECOMMENDED ACTION
1. Adopt Resolutions Authorizing the City of Santa Ana to submit applications for funding
consideration under the Measure M2 Comprehensive Transportation Funding
Program 2022 Call for Projects.
2. Direct staff to incorporate approved Comprehensive Transportation Funding Program
projects into the Seven-Year Capital Improvement Program for Fiscal Year 2022-23.
DISCUSSION
The Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) issued a call for projects under the
Measure M2 Comprehensive Transportation Funding Program (CTFP) Fiscal Year (FY)
2022-23. Approximately $32 million will be available for award on a countywide,
competitive basis for two programs: Arterial Capacity Enhancements (ACE) via the
Regional Capacity Program (Project O) and Regional Traffic Signal Synchronization
(RTSS) via the Regional Traffic Signal Synchronization Program (Project P). The CTFP
is the mechanism by which OCTA administers competitive funding for streets and roads
projects.
The City will be submitting applications totaling $11,139,163 in grant funding requests,
which requires a local match commitment of 25 percent for ACE and 20 percent for RTSS
programs. If awarded, existing and future local funding sources, including but not limited
to Transportation System Improvement Area funds (TSIA), Gas Tax funds, and Measure
M2 Fairshare funds, will be used to provide the required matching funds for the
recommended projects to be budgeted in FY 2022-23 Capital Improvement Program
(CIP).
