BACKGROUND The Cities of Santa Ana and Garden Grove are working collaboratively with the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) on the Santa Ana-Garden Grove Fixed Guideway Project. Santa Ana and OCTA have entered into two cooperative agreements for development of the project to define their respective roles and responsibilities through Steps 2 and 3 of Measure M2's Go Local Program. A Step 2 agreement for Environmental Analysis was executed in 2008 for an amount of 5.9 million, and a Step 3 agreement for Preliminary Engineering was executed in 2011 for an amount not to exceed $5.5 million, contingent on the project's acceptance into the Federal Transit Administration's (FTA) Section 5309 New Starts/Small Starts Program. In early 2010, OCTA directed the City of Santa Ana to prepare the project for FTA Section 5309 New Starts/Small Starts grant funding because the project was considered to be a strong candidate under this program. The FTA became actively involved in discussions with OCTA and the Cities of Santa Ana and Garden Grove soon thereafter, and project deliverables were revised and refined to satisfy the specific requirements of the FTA and submitted to the FTA for approval.
