State of California — Office of Traffic Safety <br />GRANT AGREEMENT <br />Schedule A <br />GRANT NUMBER <br />PS21042 <br />1. PROBLEM STATEMENT <br />With a population of just under 330,000; the City of Santa Ana is one of the fourteen highest population <br />cities in the State (Group A). The City is approximately 27.1 square miles. Santa Ana has a large volume of <br />motor vehicle traffic, with the arterials carrying 30,000 to 40,000 vehicles per day. There are also four <br />freeways that converge within the city and a total of 450 miles of streets. <br />Relative income and vehicle ownership levels within the City are significantly lower than statewide averages. <br />The City population's median age is the youngest of the seven largest cities in Orange County and the <br />residential density is one of the highest in the State. Transit ridership in Santa Ana is the highest in the <br />County with several of the busiest OCTA bus lines serving the City. As a result of climate and <br />demographics, bicycle dependent population is relatively high when compared to other communities in the <br />County or the State. Also, a significant portion of the adult bicyclists may not speak English or understand <br />the rules of the road. <br />In 2017 the City of Santa Ana ranked 3/15 for bicycle involved collisions and 3/15 in bicycle collisions (under <br />15). <br />2.
