Title
OC Streetcar Project Supplemental Contingency
Overview
The Orange County Transportation Authority is currently underway with the implementation of the OC Streetcar project. Board of Directors’ approval is requested to provide additional funding to supplement the contingency for the project.

B. Authorize staff to process all necessary amendments to the Federal Transportation Improvement Program and execute or amend all necessary agreements to facilitate the above action.
