DISCUSSION In November 2018, the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) issued a call for projects under the Measure M2 Comprehensive Transportation Funding Program Safe Transit Stops (Project W) application process for 2019. Project W provides funding for passenger amenities at the 100 busiest bus stops in Orange County, 39 of which are located in Santa Ana. Funding in the amount of $3 million in Measure M2 Project W funds will be available during this second cycle of funding allocations. Four of the 39 busiest bus stop locations have been built utilizing prior funding, which leaves the remaining 35 identified locations currently unfunded. In April 2014, the Public Works Agency was successful in being awarded $687,519 during the first round of Project W funding. This enabled the installation of 29 new transit shelters citywide. In the current 2019 call for projects, the City will pursue funding to improve 35 bus stop locations that currently do not have bus shelters. Eligible improvements include bus shelters or shade structures, seating, waste receptacles, ad displays, bus stop lighting, information displays, installation of electric services on bus shelters, and minor improvements to sidewalks. OCTA requires a resolution from the City to submit the funding applications and to accept awarded funds. It is anticipated that local agencies submitting applications will be notified of Project W funding recommendations by OCTA in early 2019. Given the need for additional safe transit bus facilities, staff recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution authorizing submittal of these project applications for funding, and direct staff to incorporate the projects into the Capital Improvement Program budget for Fiscal Year 2018-19. 55A-1 Resolution — FY 2019/20 Measure M2 CTFP Grant Applications December 18, 2018 Page 2 STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT Approval of this item supports the City's efforts to meet Goal #6 — Community Facilities & Infrastructure, Objective #1 (establish and maintain a Community Investment Plan for all City assets), Strategy G (develop and implement the City's Capital Improvement Program in coordination with the Community Investment and Deferred Maintenance Plans).
