AGENDA TITLE
Resolution and Authorization to Carry Over Grant Funds to the 2025 Federal Transportation Improvement Program as required by Funding Agency

TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM AND AFFIRMING THE CITY’S

DISCUSSION
The recommended actions would authorize the City Manager to request that the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) carry over federally funded projects or projects subject to a federally required action, including regionally significant projects, from the current Federal Transportation Improvement Program (FTIP) to the 2025 FTIP. The federal fund sources for those projects include Active Transportation Program (ATP); Highway Bridge Replacement and Rehabilitation (HBRR); Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ); and Demonstration (DEMO) grant funds.

The FTIP is the primary programming and implementation process for projects identified in the Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) administered by the Southern California Association of Governments. The FTIP lists projects and identifies funding sources for every regionally significant transportation project that receives federal or state funds.
OCTA requested that all agencies countywide carry over all federally funded projects from the existing FTIP to the 2025 FTIP if project completion occurs after 2023. The FTIP carry-over occurs every two years and marks the adoption of the new cycle.
To maintain the eligibility of allocated federal funds, the City was required to adopt a resolution (Exhibit 1) listing projects to be included or amended in the FTIP and submit to OCTA by November 30, 2023. Ultimately, the City cannot receive California Transportation Commission funding allocation approval for these projects without the requested Council-approved Resolution.
Staff is requesting authorization to carry over the following projects to the 2025 FTIP:
