The tax is estimated to raise $3.1 billion <br />Countywide over this 20 year period. The monies received from Measure M <br />will be returned to local jurisdictions for use on local and regional <br />transportation improvements and maintenance projects. In order to qualify for <br />these revenues, however, Measure M requires each City to comply with the <br />Orange County Division, League of California Cities Countywide Traffic <br />Improvement and Growth Management Program which was included by <br />reference in the Measure M ordinance. The Countywide Growth Management <br />Program is designed to achieve a cooperative process among local Orange <br />County jurisdictions to coordinate and implement traffic improvements and <br />stronger planning on a Countywide basis, while maintaining local authority <br />over land use decisions. It is also designed to maintain local authority in <br />establishing performance standards, such as traffic level of service, while <br />considering regional impacts. <br />In order to receive Measure M funds, the City must submit a statement of <br />compliance with the Countywide Growth Management components which are <br />summarized below <br />1. Adoption of a Growth Management Element that includes: <br />a) Traffic level of service standards; <br />b) A development mitigation program; and <br />c) A development phasing and annual monitoring program. <br />2.
