Applications will be reviewed and evaluated by OCTA staff and a
recommendation for award is expected to be taken to OCTA Board in April

FISCAL IMPACT
Since this program is federally funded, the City will need to provide 25%
matching funds for any project that receives these monies. Funds for the
City's 25% match for projects receiving TEA grant funds will need to be
budgeted in the City's Capital Improvement Program.
