While OCTA will act as lead <br />agency for the project, a cooperative agreement is needed to identify the roles and responsibilities of <br />OCTA and the participating agencies, and provide for OCTA oversight to maintain inter - jurisdictional <br />synchronization on the project during the three -year grant period. Upon project completion, responsibility <br />for ongoing signal maintenance will revert to the respective local agencies. The Measure M2 grant <br />provides $1,884,620 for the project and the participating agencies provide $471,155 in matching funds. <br />20A -1 <br />
