DISCUSSION
The voters of Orange County passed Measure M2 in 2006 that adds a 0.5% sales tax in
Orange County. Every time Santa Ana residents make a taxable purchase, a half cent
for every dollar spent goes to the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) for
transit and transportation improvements. In total, OCTA expects to receive over $13.2

billion over the 30-year period that Measure M2 is in effect (2011-2041). OCTA collects
this revenue and distributes it as shown in the graphic below:
Santa Ana receives Measure M2 funds in two categories: Local Fair-Share (formulaic
distribution) and Competitive Grants. In order to qualify for both categories, Santa Ana
(along with all Orange County Cities) must adhere to strict requirements and satisfy 13
eligibility categories. The table below summarizes the direct funds Santa Ana has
received from OCTA, Measure M2 for the past three fiscal years.
Fiscal
Year
Local Fair

Competitive
Grants
Total Received
FY 21/22 $4,567,205 $1,937,250 $6,504,455
FY 22/23 $5,762,336 $1,030,000 $6,792,336
FY 23/24 $6,709,413 $5,239,044 $11,948,457
Importantly, major projects such as the Bristol Corridor widening are fully funded, in
large part via past Measure M2 grants and are now in the construction and bid phases.
On August 12, 2024, OCTA issued a Call for Projects under the Measure M2
Comprehensive Transportation Funding Program (CTFP) for Fiscal Year (FY) 2025-26.
Approximately $45 million will be available for award on a countywide, competitive grant
basis via the Regional Capacity Program (Project O) for Arterial Capacity
Enhancements (ACE), Intersection Capacity Enhancements (ICE), and the Regional
Traffic Signal Synchronization Program (Project P). The CTFP is the mechanism by
which OCTA administers competitive grant funding for streets and roads projects.
The City will submit applications totaling over $8.5 million in grant funding requests,
which includes all project phases and requires a local match commitment of 25% for
both ACE and ICE programs, and 20% for Project P. If awarded, the existing and future

local funding sources, including but not limited to, Transportation System Improvement
Area funds (TSIA), Gas Tax funds, and Measure M2 Fairshare funds, will be used to
provide the required matching funds for the recommended projects to be budgeted in
the FY 2025-26 Capital Improvement Program (CIP).
Recommended Projects CTFP
Type Phase Grant Request FY
Fairview Street Widening (17th to Trask
Avenue)O ROW $5,148,290 25-26
Bristol Street Traffic Signal
Synchronization P Design/
Construction $3,375,000 25-26
The Bristol Street Traffic Signal Synchronization project primarily consists of replacing
and upgrading traffic signal technology equipment and devices and will not interfere with
or impact the Bristol widening projects. The City has received previous M2 grant funding
for the design and environmental phase of The Fairview Street Widening project and will
need to apply next year for a construction phase grant. Construction on the Fairview
Street Widening project is not anticipated to begin until the current Bristol Street
Corridor projects are complete.
Given the need for street improvements and the project eligibility requirements defined
by OCTA, staff recommends that the City Council adopt two Resolutions (Exhibits 1 and
2) authorizing submittal of the Project O and Project P CTFP application for funding
consideration, as well as direct staff to incorporate approved projects into the FY 2025
Seven-Year CIP.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
There is no environmental impact associated with the action.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with this action at this time. The City will recognize
grant award revenue, inclusive of required City local match, through future Council
action during the FY 2024-25 and 2025-26 CIP budget programing cycle. In the event
both of the recommended projects are awarded, the table below provides a breakdown
of the total potential funding for the identified projects:
