Measure M2 Funds through the Senior Mobility Program (SMP) The City entered into an agreement with Orange Elderly Services (OES) to administer the Senior Transportation Program using Measure M2 sales tax revenue funds, which the City receives from Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) through the Senior Mobility Program (SMP).
Historically, the City budgets between $120,000 and $200,000 in annual Measure M2 revenues and expenditures for this program, based on estimated revenue OCTA provides to City staff. Any additional amount received must be appropriated through City Council action. Additionally, unspent revenue generates interest that the City may use toward the SMP program.
