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). Resolution – FY 2021-22 Measure M2 CTFP Grant Applications November 16, 2021 Page 2 2 2 2 0 Staff is requesting authorization to apply for grant funding for the following projects: RECOMMENDED PROJECTS CTFP TYPE PHASE GRANT REQUEST FY Euclid Street Traffic Signal Synchronization RTSS Design/ Construction $475,000 22-23 Fairview Street Improvements from 17th to Trask ACE Design / ROW / Construction $10,664,163 22-23 Staff carefully considered the grant funding criteria and strategically selected the projects that will score well region-wide. Given the need for the street improvements and the project eligibility requirements defined by OCTA, staff recommends that the City Council adopt the Resolutions authorizing submittal of the CTFP application for funding consideration, as well as direct staff to incorporate approved projects into the FY 2022- 23 Seven-Year CIP.
