overview
Overview
The Orange County Transportation Authority provides competitive grants to local and non-profit jurisdictions beyond those provided through Measure M2 using various federal, state, and local transportation funding programs.

Staff has prepared an overview and status update for local jurisdiction projects that have received funds, recent grant pursuits and awards for Orange County Transportation Authority projects, and recommendations for changes to grant terms for local jurisdiction projects.
