Public Works Agency <br />www.santa-ana.org/pw <br />Item # 35 <br />City of Santa Ana <br />20 Civic Center Plaza, Santa Ana, CA 92701 <br /> Staff Report <br />December 21, 2021 <br />TOPIC: Resolution to Carry Over Existing Funds to the 2023 Federal Transportation <br />Improvement Program <br />AGENDA TITLE <br />Resolution and Authorization to Carry Over Grant Funds to the 2023 Federal <br />Transportation Improvement Program as Required by Funding Agency <br /> <br />RECOMMENDED ACTION <br />1. Authorize the City Manager to submit selected projects to the Orange County <br />Transportation Authority for inclusion into the 2023 Federal Transportation <br />Improvement Program. <br />2. Adopt a Resolution certifying that the City has the resources to fund the projects <br />submitted for inclusion into the 2023-2028 Federal Transportation Improvement <br />Program, and confirm the City’s commitment to implement all projects submitted to <br />the program. <br />DISCUSSION <br />The recommended actions would authorize the City Manager to request that the Orange <br />County Transportation Authority (OCTA) carry over federally funded projects or projects <br />subject to a federally required action, including regionally significant projects, from the <br />current Federal Transportation Improvement Program (FTIP) to the 2023 FTIP. The <br />federal fund sources for those projects include Active Transportation Program (ATP); <br />Highway Bridge Replacement and Rehabilitation (HBRR); Congestion Mitigation and Air <br />Quality (CMAQ); and Demonstration (DEMO) grant funds. <br />The FTIP is the primary programming and implementation process for projects identified <br />in the Regional Transportation Plan (RTP), administered by the Southern California <br />Association of Governments. The FTIP lists projects and identifies funding sources for <br />every regionally significant transportation project that receives federal or state funds. The <br />Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) requested that all agencies countywide <br />carry over all federally funded projects from the existing FTIP to the 2023 FTIP if project <br />completion occurs after 2021. The FTIP carry-over occurs every two years and marks the <br />adoption of the new cycle.
