Title
Temporary Policy Change to Address Extraordinary Inflation for Prior Regional Capacity Program and Regional Traffic Signal Synchronization Program Allocations
Overview
Overview
The Regional Capacity Program and Regional Traffic Signal Synchronization Programs allocate funds for roadway and signal projects through a competitive process, consistent with the Measure M2 Expenditure Plan. Due to recent extraordinary inflationary pressures, local jurisdictions have requested that the Orange County Transportation Authority provide assistance with advancing project commitments in light of the extraordinary cost escalation environment. Two recommendations to aid the local jurisdictions are presented for the Board of Directors’ consideration.
