On November 6, 1990, the voters in Orange County approved a % percent sales tax for <br />twenty years to fund transportation improvements known as Measure M. This sales tax <br />provides funding for street and road improvements to local agencies through formula <br />distribution and competitive process. On November 6, 2006, voters approved Measure M2 <br />to continue the % percent sales tax for thirty years, beginning in 2011. Project P, the <br />Regional Traffic Signal Synchronization Program (RTSSP), was included as part of Measure <br />M 2. <br />The RTSSP is comprised of a 750-mile regional signal synchronization network with <br />approximately 2,000 signals. The goals of the program are to improve the flow of traffic on <br />Orange County streets and roads by implementing multi -agency signal synchronization. <br />Local agencies and Caltrans are encouraged to work cooperatively with the Orange County <br />Transportation Authority (OCTA) to synchronize traffic signals throughout Orange County on <br />a corridor basis to improve travel time and reduce stops. Local agencies will maintain local <br />control and responsibility for signals within their jurisdiction. Any changes to traffic signals, <br />signal timing equipment, or related signal policies (including transit signal priority, transit <br />preemption, or emergency vehicle preemption) are at the full discretion of the responsible <br />local agency. <br />Page 1 2023 <br />
