Title

Proposition 1B California Transit Security Grant Program Authorization for 2017

 

Overview

In 2006, Proposition 1B authorized the issuance of general obligation bonds to support transportation improvements throughout the state, including the California Transit Security Grant Program, which makes available funding allocations to support eligible transit system safety, security, and disaster response projects.  For fiscal year 2017, $2.8 million is available to the Orange County Transportation Authority. A list of candidate projects is presented for consideration, along with an authorizing resolution to execute grant-related agreements, as required by the program.

 

Recommendation(s)

A.                     Adopt Orange County Transportation Authority Resolution No. 2017-033 authorizing the Chief Executive Officer, or designee, to file and execute grant-related agreements with the California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services as the designated administrative agency of the California Transit Security Grant Program.

 

B.                     Approve the candidate project list and authorize staff to amend the Federal Transportation Improvement Program to accommodate grant revenues.
