RESOLUTION NO. 2025-XXX entitled A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL
OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA CERTIFYING THAT THE CITY HAS THE
RESOURCES TO FUND PROJECTS IN THE 2026/27 - 2031/32
TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM AND AFFIRMING THE CITY’S

GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES: No
DISCUSSION
The Federal Transportation Improvement Program (FTIP) is the primary programming
and implementation process for projects identified in the Regional Transportation Plan
(RTP), administered by the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG). The
FTIP lists projects and identifies funding sources for every regionally significant
transportation project that receives federal or state funds. Regionally, the Orange County
Transportation Authority (OCTA) serves as the coordination and oversight agency
working with SCAG to prioritize and fund FTIP projects which include highway
improvements, transit, rail and bus facilities, high occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes, signal
synchronization, intersection improvements, freeway ramps, non-motorized projects, and

bicycle, pedestrian, and safety improvements. Locally, FTIP funded projects include the
Santa Ana Boulevard Grade Separation, the Fairview bridge replacement, and various
bike lane and pedestrian mobility safety improvement projects. See Exhibit 2 for a detailed
list of the 18 FTIP projects that will be carried over to the 2027 Federal Fiscal Year. OCTA
has requested that all agencies countywide carry over all federally funded projects from
the existing FTIP to the 2027 FTIP if project completion occurs after 2025. The FTIP carry-
over occurs every two years and marks the adoption of the new cycle and is necessary
in order to maintaining funding for completing local projects.
To maintain eligibility of allocated federal funds, the City is required to adopt a Resolution
(Exhibit 1) listing projects to be included or amended in the FTIP and submit to OCTA by
November 21, 2025. Ultimately, the City cannot receive California Transportation
Commission funding allocation approval for these projects without the requested Council-
approved Resolution.
The recommended actions would authorize the City Manager to request that the OCTA
carry over federally funded projects or projects subject to a federally required action,
including regionally significant projects, from the current FTIP to the 2027 FTIP (Exhibit
2). The federal fund sources for those projects include Active Transportation Program
(ATP); Highway Bridge Replacement and Rehabilitation (HBRR); Congestion Mitigation
and Air Quality (CMAQ); and Demonstration (DEMO) grant funds.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
There is no environmental impact associated with this action.
FISCAL IMPACT
Matching funds for the referenced projects have either already been budgeted and are
available for expenditure, or they are programmed to be budgeted in future fiscal years
from accounting units 14817613 (Active Transportation Program), 14817614 (Active
Transportation Program Augment), 14817615 (Active Transportation Program-Federal),
and 05917660 (Select Street Construction). The projects are in varying stages of
completion and for some projects the City’s match requirement has been fulfilled.
