OC Loops Gap Feasibility Study 2023 The OC Loops project expands the original OC Loop to additional loops and a diagonal connector that serves all of Orange County. The bike- way feasibility study prioritizes the 8 to 80 audience through enhanced bikeways that separate cyclists from moving traffic where possible. Safe Transportation Education Program (STEP) OCTA has secured grant funding to administer STEP, which provides approximately twenty-five schools in Orange County with free re- sources, activities, and events to encourage families to walk and roll to school safely and more often. Additional funding has been secured for future expansion of the program. STEP is a partnership project be- tween OCTA and the Orange County Health Care Agency (OCHCA), and is funded by a Caltrans Active Transportation Program grant. Safe Routes to School Action Plan OCTA and OCHCA are leading the Safe Routes to School (SRTS) Ac- tion Plan that serves every school and school district with a series of steps to advance more SRTS improvements and activities. The study is under preparation and aligns with Vision Zero goals of improving safety for youth traveling through active transportation means. Bus Stop Accessibility and Safety Plan Using funding provided by the Southern California Association of Gov- ernments, OCTA will lead a study that will evaluate the busiest 41 bus stops in Orange County for pedestrian access and safety. The majority of the study locations are within the City of Santa Ana along Harbor Boulevard, Main Street, and 17th Street. The study will support Vision Zero goals of improving safety for people walking to access transit. 14
