construct the McFadden Avenue Transit Signal Priority (TSP) Pilot Project. The grant
funds will allow for the City to construct a TSP Pilot Project including the design and
construction of improvements at 25 bus stops along the McFadden Avenue Corridor.
The McFadden Avenue TSP Pilot Project will be delivered in two phases. On June 3,
2025, City Council awarded a contract for the first phase which is focused on
technology elements, programming, and testing field devices. The recommended
construction contract is the second phase and will construct physical bus stop
improvements including concrete bus pads, bus shelters, and pedestrian level lighting to

The McFadden Avenue TSP Pilot Project will supplement the previously approved
street improvements for McFadden Avenue by constructing transit focused
improvements that will benefit the Santa Ana residents who utilize OCTA's Route 66,
one of the highest ridership bus routes in Orange County. The proposed grant funded
improvements will promote transit use and will enhance OC Bus travel time, schedule
reliability, and reduce fuel consumption and emissions while also maintaining traffic flow
and improving corridor safety along McFadden Avenue. The construction of the bus
stop improvements will be coordinated with the ongoing construction of the McFadden
Avenue corridor roadway improvements to minimize disruption.

materials (such as The Greenbook) are available for public review at the City's Public
Works Agency, Central Files office located in City Hall.
