Capital Programming Update

overview

Overview

The Orange County Transportation Authority uses a combination of federal, state, and local funding sources to plan and deliver Board of Directors-approved capital improvement and transit projects, including those promised in the voter-approved sales tax program, Measure M2. As projects advance through the various stages of development, funding sources and amounts are updated and adjusted to reflect the most current cost estimates and to maximize the benefit of local sales tax dollars. Board of Directors’ authorization is requested to commit funding for current and planned projects as further described herein.
