MEETING DATE: JANUARY 19, 2016 ITEM NUMBER: CC -7
SUBJECT: 2017 FEDERAL TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
DATE: JANUARY 4, 2016
FROM: PUBLIC SERVICES DEPARTMENT - TRANSPORTATION SERVICES DIVISION
PRESENTATION BY: ERNESTO MUNOZ, PUBLIC SERVICES DIRECTOR

MANAGER - (714) 754-5032
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a resolution approving projects for inclusion in the Orange County Transportation
Authority's (OCTA) Federal Transportation Improvement Program (FTIP) for Fiscal Years
2016/17 through 2021/22 (Attachment 1).
BACKGROUND:
The Federal Transportation Improvement Program (FTIP) is a capital listing of all
transportation projects for the Southern California region to be funded over a six-year period.
The FTIP is prepared to implement projects and programs listed in the Regional
Transportation Program (RTP) and is developed in compliance with state and federal
requirements. The projects include highway improvements; transit, rail, and bus facilities;
high occupancy vehicle lanes; signal synchronization; intersection improvements; etc., in
the six -county Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) region. Orange
County Transportation Authority, as the administrator of FTIP in Orange County, reviews
projects submitted by local agencies and prepares the final submittal to SCAG.
ANALYSIS:
OCTA requests that Cities in Orange County review projects in the current Federal
Transportation Improvement Program (FTIP). This includes a review of project descriptions,
budgets, schedule status, and environmental documents.
The projects that are proposed by the City under the FTIP are included in Attachment 1.
Two (2) of the City's projects in the FTIP, Bicycle Racks at City Facilities and West 19th
Street Bicycle Facility, are included by SCAG in the Transportation Control Measures (TCM)
category. The TCM projects identified by the various agencies are collectively needed to
meet the air quality goals for the region.
The City, with the attached resolution, confirms its commitment to the successful
implementation of the submitted projects, including the TCM projects. Staff requests City
Council approval of the resolution.
1
ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED:
The City Council could choose to not adopt the resolution. According to OCTA, this would
result in the City being ineligible for Federal or State grant funds for these projects.
Another alternative is to modify the project listing. This will also result in the loss of Federal
or State grant funds for projects that are deleted.
FISCAL REVIEW:
The FTIP resolution requires the City's commitment of funding for the implementation of
its projects. Included are only those projects which have been previously committed
through the prior budget process.
LEGAL REVIEW:
The City Attorney's office has reviewed and approved the resolution as to form.
CONCLUSION:
OCTA requests that Cities review the projects in the current FTIP and is soliciting
modifications and additions to the projects. The City of Costa Mesa staff has reviewed the
projects listed and recommends them for inclusion in the 2017 FTIP. The attached
Resolution provides City Council approval of projects for inclusion in the FTIP and the City's
commitment for the listed projects. Staff requests City Council's approval of the attached
Resolution.
