On January 30, 1984 the Orange County Planning Commission <br />adopted Resolution No. 45 -83 recommending that the Board <br />of Supervisors adopt Major Thoroughfare and Bridge Fee <br />Programs for the San Joaquin Hills Transportation <br />Corridor and the Foothill /Eastern Transportation Corridor. <br />On October 3, 1984 the Board of Supervisors, by <br />Resolution No. 84 -1462, adopted Areas of Benefit and <br />Major Thoroughfare and Bridge fees within unincorporated <br />Orange County for the San Joaquin Hills and <br />Foothill /Eastern Transportation Corridors. Subsequent <br />cooperative analyses of the fee program by Orange County, <br />Orange County Transportation Commission, the Building <br />Industry Association of Southern California, Orange <br />County Region, and cities within these Areas of Benefit <br />have lead to the Fee Program defined within this report, <br />and the formation of the San Joaquin Hills Transportation <br />Corridor Agency and the Eastern /Foothill Transportation <br />Corridor Agency to implement such Fee Program and plan, <br />design, finance and construct such corridors. <br />The County and various cities within the Area of Benefit <br />of the San Joaquin Hills and Foothill /Eastern <br />Transportation Corridors formed two Joint Powers Agencies <br />known as the San Joaquin Hills Transportation Corridor <br />Agency and the Foothill /Eastern Transportation Corridor <br />Agency. Necessary ordinances and resolutions to effect <br />the Fee Program have been adopted by all parties of the <br />Agency, and such program is now being fully implemented. <br />II. DESCRIPTION OF CORRIDOR <br />A TRANSPORTATION CORRIDOR is a high- speed, high volume, <br />access - controlled multimodal facility with a median of <br />sufficient width to be utilized for transit <br />considerations such as fixed rail or high- occupancy <br />vehicles, and facilities necessary for collection of <br />tolls. The corridors will provide for high speed <br />movement of vehicular traffic where projected volumes <br />exceed major arterial highway capacities. These routes <br />will function similar to freeways and expressways and <br />should eventually be incorporated into the State Highway <br />System. They are, therefore, designed to meet minimum <br />State and Federal standards. <br />In addition to the need for major transportation <br />corridors generated by existing development, the <br />-5- <br />
