Subject: 2023 Orange County Complete Streets Program Award
Dear Mr. Bise,
Congratulations, funding is now available for your application for a complete street project. On February 12, 2024, the O range County Transportation Authority (OCTA) Board of Directors (Board) approved the 2023 Orange County Complete Streets Program (OCCSP) Project Prioritization Recommendations which awarded Surface Transportation Block Grant (STBG) and Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement (CMAQ) funds to Orange County projects and established a contingency list of projects.
On June 6, 2024, the Southern California Association of Governments Regional Council approved a contingency list which included nine projects, referred to by OCTA as Wave 3. OCTA has worked with SCAG to identify funding and th ose projects. This letter serves as a formal notification that the nine projects in Wave 3 of the OCCSP have been awarded CMAQ and/or STBG funds.
Awarded projects may now request authorization (RFA) of the federal funds through California Department of Transportation District 12 Local Assistance.
The OCCSP guidelines require that the project sponsor submit the documents required for the RFA no later than February of the federal fiscal year programmed. Requests submitted after February may risk losing the funds.
Please coordinate immediately with your respective Caltrans District Local Assistance Area Engineer for federal-aid project delivery.
