Lauren Sato/Rose Casey

Overview

On January 27, 2025, the Orange County Transportation Authority Board of Directors

approved the 2025 Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer Initiatives and Action

Plan. Following their approval, the 2025 Chief Executive Officer Action Plan was updated

to reflect feedback received from the Board of Directors, shared via a memo to the Board

of Directors on March 20, 2025. The revised Action Plan consists of three Board of

Directors initiatives supported by nine Chief Executive Officer initiatives that are monitored

through 110 milestones throughout the calendar year. This mid-year report summarizes

Orange County Transportation Authority’s progress in advancing these initiatives between

January 1, 2025, and June 30, 2025. By mid-year, 39 milestones were originally targeted

for completion. At the conclusion of the second quarter, 28 total milestones have been

completed, including two that were achieved in the second quarter ahead of their originally

anticipated schedules.

Proposed Amendment to the Orange County Local Transportation Authority

Measure M2 Ordinance No. 3

Adriann Cardoso/Rose Casey

Overview

The voter-approved Measure M2 Ordinance No. 3 requires that all net revenues be

allocated solely for transportation purposes described in the ordinance. A safeguard for

the use of the Measure M2 net revenues indicates that any jurisdiction which uses net

revenues in any amount and for any reason for a purpose other than those authorized by

the ordinance must fully reimburse the Orange County Transportation Authority for any

misspent funds and that jurisdiction shall be deemed ineligible to receive net revenues for

a period of five years. The Board of Directors requested that staff develop options for

potentially amending Ordinance No. 3 that include less severe remedies than what are

currently required where Measure M2 net revenues are used for purposes other than those

authorized by the ordinance.

Recommendation(s)

Provide direction to staff to initiate the process to amend the Orange County Local

Transportation Authority Measure M2 Ordinance No. 3 to provide the Board of

Directors with flexibility in determining a lesser penalty when a local jurisdiction uses

Measure M2 net revenues for purposes other than those authorized by the M2

Ordinance No. 3.

Provide direction to staff to make the necessary changes to the Transportation

Investment Plan provided in Attachment A to reflect the changes made to the

Measure M2 Ordinance No. 3.

Direct staff to set a date of October 27, 2025, for a public hearing and Board of

Directors’ action to consider adoption of the amendment to the Orange County

Local Transportation Authority Measure M2 Ordinance No. 3 as it relates to the

safeguard of use of revenues requirement.
