Adopt a resolution certifying that the City has the resources to fund the projects submitted for <br />inclusion into the 2015 Federal Transportation improvement Program, and confirming the Citys <br />commitment to implement all projects submitted to the program. <br />DISCUSSION <br />The recommended action would authorize the City Manager to request that the Orange County <br />Transportation Authority (OCTA) carry over federally funded projects from the current Federal <br />Transportation Improvement Program (FTIP) to the 2015 FTIP. The projects are those using <br />Bicycle Corridor Improvement (BCI); Federal Demonstration (DEMO); Federal Transit <br />Administration (FTA); urbanized Area Formula Program (UAF); Highway Bridge Replacement <br />and Rehabilitation (HBRR); Regional Surface Transportation Program (RSTP); and <br />Transportation, Community, and System Preservation (TCSP) funding programs. <br />The FTIP is the primary programming and implementation process for projects identified in the <br />Regional Transportation Plan, which is administered by the Southern California Association of <br />Governments. The Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) requested that all agencies <br />countywide carry over all federally funded projects from the existing FTIP to the 2015 FTIP if <br />project completion occurs after 2013. The FTIP is updated every two years and 2015 will be the <br />next update. In order to maintain the eligibility of allocated federal funds, the City needs to <br />provide OCTA with a resolution certifying that the City has the resources to fund its share of the <br />projects listed below. <br />55A -1 <br />
