Orange County voters approved a ½-cent sales tax in 1990, known as Measure M. It was approved for an additional 30 years to 2041, and the renewed program is known as M2 or OC Go. Some funds are non-competitive and distributed to local agencies based on a formula of population, arterial centerline miles and share of taxable sales. Other funds are competitive and offered to local agencies in the following categories:
Project O – Regional Capacity Program: Focuses on improvements to the Master Plan of Arterial Highways (MPAH). The MPAH serves as the backbone of Orange County’s arterial street network.
Project P – Regional Traffic Signal Synchronization Program: Intended to improve the flow of traffic in your community by developing and implementing traffic light coordination.
Project X – Environmental Cleanup: Helps improve overall water quality in Orange County from transportation-generated pollution.
Project V – Community Based Transit / Circulators: Helps local agencies establish local bus transit services such as community-based circulators, shuttles and bus trolleys that complement regional bus and rail services, and meet needs in areas not adequately served by regional transit.
Project W – Safe Transit Stops: This is a fixed-scope program which provides funding for passenger amenities at the 100 busiest bus stops in Orange County determined by average daily weekday passenger boardings.
Additional information can be found on OCTA’s website.
