SCHEDULE A <br />GRANT DESCRIPTION <br />GRANT No. PS1621 <br />PAGE I <br />1. PROBLEM STATEMENT <br />With a population of just under 330,000, the City of Santa Ana is one of the thirteen highest population cities in <br />the State. The City is approximately 27.1 square miles in size. Santa Ana has a large volume of motor vehicle <br />traffic, with the arterials carrying 30,000 to 40,000 vehicles per day. There are also four freeways that converge <br />within the city and a total of 450 miles of streets. <br />Relative income and vehicle ownership levels within the City are significantly lower than statewide averages. <br />The City population's median age is the youngest of the seven largest cities in Orange County and the <br />residential density is one of the highest in the State. Transit ridership in Santa Ana is the highest in the County <br />with several of the busiest OCTA bus lines serving the City. As a result of climate and demographics, bicycle <br />dependent population is relatively high when compared to other communities in the County or the State. Also, a <br />significant portion of the adult bicyclists may not speak English or understand the rules of the road. <br />In 2011 and 2012, the City of Santa Ana ranked 3`d highest of similar -sized cities for bicycle - involved <br />collisions, falling just behind San Francisco and Long Beach. In addition, collisions involving bicyclists riding <br />at night increased from 40 in 2012, to 43 in 2013. Finally, bicycle - involved collisions remained steady with 222 <br />in 2012, and 223 in 2013. <br />2. PERFORMANCE MEASURES <br />A.
