DISCUSSION The Regional Transportation Improvement Program (RTIP) is a comprehensive programming document that contains detailed project listings for all regionally significant projects within the Southern California Association of Governments (SLAG) region. Development and adoption of the RTIP is required in order to receive State and Federal funding. The Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) has the responsibility of developing the RTIP for the entities within its jurisdiction of Orange County, California. Upon completion, the RTIP is forward to SLAG for inclusion in the regional RTIP. The regional RTIP is then forwarded to the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) for review and inclusion in the Federal Transportation Improvement Program (FTIP). As required by FHWA, the RTIP/FTIP must be a financially constrained document, meaning that programming cannot exceed actual funds available. To help ensure compliance with this regulation, agencies that have projects in the RTIP are required to approve a resolution certifying that the requested projects are financially constrained and that the agency is committed to delivering them. The City of Santa Ana has 11 projects that meet the requirements for inclusion in the 2008 RTIP, covering FY 2008/09 through 2013/14. 55B-1 2008 Regional Transportation Improvement Program Development January 7, 2008 Page 2 All of these projects are currently part Improvement Program. of the City's Capital Staff is requesting that the following projects be recognized in the 2008 Regional Transportation Improvement Program: PROJECT PROGRAM FY Santiago Creek Bike Trail TEA/1112 PRIOR YEAR MacArthur Blvd Bike Trail TEA PRIOR YEAR Thornton Park Bike Trail 1112 PRIOR YEAR Flower St. Bike Trail Extension BTA 2007/2008 Bristol Street: Warner to Memory Lane IIP/DEMO 2008/2009 - 2013/2014 First Street Bridge Widening over Santa Ana River MPAH/GMA PRIOR YEAR Fifth, McFadden, and Flower Bridge Rehabilitation HBP 2007/2008 Grand Avenue Widening MPAH 2009/2010 MacArthur Boulevard @ SR-55 Southbound On Ramp RIP 2009/2010 MacArthur Boulevard @ SR-55 Northbound On Ramp RIP 2009/2010 Alton Avenue Overcrossing @ SR-55 GMA 2009/2010 ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT There is no environmental impact associated with this action.
