SUBJECT: 2002/2003 COMBINED TRANSPORTATION FUNDING PROGRAM
APPLICATION
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Adopt Resolution No. 2003 - approving the submittal of the City's 2002/03
program application to the Orange County Combined Transportation Funding
Program.
2. Direct Staff to apply for funding under the Orange County Combined
Transportation Funding Programs for the project included in the City's application
package.
DISCUSSION:
On October 1, 2002, the Orange County Transportation Authority issued a five -year call
for projects for various Measure M programs (Regional Interchange, Intersection
Improvements, Signal Improvements, Transportation Demand Management, Growth
Management Areas, and Master Plan of Arterial Highways). Cities are invited to submit
eligible projects for the various programs. An estimated $117.7 million in Measure M
sales tax funds will be available to Orange County cities with this call for projects.
Program funds will be allocated on project merit basis, and will be based on safety,
project readiness, cost- effectiveness, level of service improvement, arterial highway
classification, adopted seven year capital improvement program conformance, Growth
Management Area support, local agency support, transportation system significance, and
multi - jurisdictional continuity and /or coordination.
The structure of the funding programs is based on a two- tiered approach. This two -
tiered approach is part of a five -year cycle. The first tier encompasses the first two years
of the five -year cycle, and is intended for "project ready" projects. Tier 1 projects
approved by OCTA are eligible to receive full funding allocations within the designated
year. The second tier includes the last three years of the five -year cycle. Tier II projects
will also receive a funding commitment, but may not be for the total target amount. This
allows for future projects to be funded in the next call for projects which will occur in two
years.

Staff recommends an application be submitted for the design, right -of -way acquisition,
and construction of the Jamboree Road Bridge Widening over the SR73 Freeway. This
proposed project will improve traffic flow and the operational functionality of the Bristol
Street North and Bristol Street South intersections on Jamboree Road. Staff believes the
implementation of the proposed improvement coupled with the re- examination of the
master plan for Jamboree Road may lead to the elimination of the need to construct the
JR -5 flyover ramp and the JR -1 off ramp.
The JR -5 flyover ramp was originally planned as a final phase of the SR -73 construction
to provide a direct connection from northbound Jamboree Road to northbound SR73.
The JR -1 ramp was originally proposed to replace the northbound SR73 /Birch Street off
ramp, which would be impacted by the JR -5 ramp. The JR -1 ramp would convey
northbound SR73 off ramp traffic to the intersection of Jamboree Road and Bristol Street
North (see Attachment A). The Transportation Corridor Agency (TCA) estimated the cost
of the original freeway ramp concept to be $10,300,000 in 1997. The total cost of the
bridge widening project is now estimated at $4,228,000, which reflects a minimum
savings $6,072,000 in transportation costs.
Funding Availability: To fund the proposed project, Staff is requesting $1,218,000 in
CTFP funds. The remaining $2,760,000 and $250,000 would be provided by the TCA
and Growth Management Area No. 8, respectively.
A Tier I, year 2 (2004/05) project is proposed for the project design including plans,
specifications, and cost estimates. The right -of -way acquisition is proposed for Tier II,
year 4 (2006/07) and the construction phase is proposed for Tier 11, year 5 (2007/08).
Attached is a Measure M 2002/2003 Program Summary, which describes the Tumback
Program, along with a listing of the approved funding allocations for each of the
programs under this call for projects. The OCTA staff will review the project applications
and make recommendations to fund those receiving the most points. The funding
recommendations will be submitted for OCTA Board of Directors approval in April 2003.
The approved funding will be available starting July 1st of the applicable fiscal year.
Environmental Review: No review is required at this time, however, appropriate
environmental review will be initiated after funding approval.

ORANGE COUNTY COMBINED FUNDING PROGRAM
City of Newport Beach
2002103 Program Summary
1. Measure M
On November 6, 1990, Orange County voters approved Measure M, the Revised
Traffic Improvement and Growth Management Ordinance, providing the funding for
needed transportation improvements. Measure M authorized the imposition of a
one -half percent retail transaction and use tax for a twenty -year period effective
April 1, 1991. The sales tax is estimated to raise $3.1 billion (in 1988 dollars)
countywide over the 20 -year period. The revenue generated by this tax is
administered by OCTA, and funding is distributed into four categories based on the
percentages established in the sales tax ordinance: 43 percent to freeway projects,
25 percent to transit projects, 21 percent to local street projects, and 11 percent to
regional streets. Project funding is made available to eligible cities under the
Regional Streets and Roads component as well as the Local Street and Roads
components on a competitive project basis.
The Regional component includes the following five programs:
Smart Streets Program
The 1982 High Flow Arterial Concept Feasibility Study indicated that substantial
improvements in travel time, number of stops, fuel consumption, and vehicle
emissions could be achieved through the implementation of a high -flow arterial, or
smart street concept. This concept seeks to improve roadway traffic capacity and
smooth traffic flow on selected corridors through traffic signal coordination, bus
turnouts, parking restrictions, intersection improvements, and additional travel
lanes. A follow up study in 1984, Superstreet Program for Orange County,
identified a network of approximately 220 miles on 21 designated smart streets.
Beach Boulevard was selected in 1984 as the first designated smart street.
In 1992, the Superstreet network was re- defined and re -named the Smart Street
Network. Given the magnitude of costs associated with these improvements and
the philosophy of corridor -wide improvements, the TAC and Board decided to limit
the funds from the Smart Streets Program to no more than the four streets
underway. In March, 1993, the OCTA TAC and Board of Directors determined that
the following street be studied further as potential smart street corridors:
Beach Boulevard: Pacific Coast Highway to Imperial Highway
Imperial Highway: Los Angeles County to Santa Ana Canyon Road
Katella Avenue: 1 -605 to SR -55
Moulton Parkway: Main Street (Santa Ana) to Del Prado (Dana Point)
This Program is not accepting funding applications for this Call for Projects
Reaional Interchanae Proaram
The Regional Interchange Program provides funds for projects that improve
freeway to arterial highway interchanges, including combinations of ramps or
junctions of freeway or state highway to another freeway or state highway. The
estimated funding is $13.7 million for fiscal years 03/04 through 07/08. A minimum
of 50 percent in matching funds is required from the local agency.
Intersection Improvement Program
The Intersection Improvement Program provides funds for improvements to a
minimum of 100 of the County's most congested intersections. Improvements may
include widenings for additional through lanes, turn pockets, and traffic signal
installations. The estimated funding is $27.0 million for fiscal years 03/04 through
07/08. Projects selected for funding under the Intersection Improvement Program
will be limited to a maximum funding allocation of $2.5 million per intersection. A
minimum 20 percent in matching funds is required from the local agency.
Signal Improvement Program
The Signal Improvement Program provides funding for improvements that lead to
better operation and management of signal systems and traffic congestion.
Improvements may include signal coordination, system detection, and system
communication links. The estimated funding is $12.2 million for fiscal years 03/04
through 07/08: Projects funded under this program are limited to $250,000 per
project. A minimum of 20 percent matching funds is required from the local agency.
Transportation Demand Management Program
OCTA makes funds available to local jurisdiction through the Measure -M
Transportation Demand Management Program for the implementation efforts of
transportation control measures. Priority is given to those projects which implement
control measures that result in quantifiable reductions in vehicles trips and vehicle
miles traveled. The objective of these measures is to reduce air pollution in a cost
effective manner. Eligible projects may include carpool /vanpool purchase
incentives, parking management programs, park and ride facilities, telecommuting
programs, and transit benches and shelters. The estimated funding is $3.1 million
for fiscal years 03/04 through 07/08, with a per project cap of $200,000. No
matching funds are required from the local agency.
The Local component includes the following two programs:
Master Plan of Arterial Highways Program
The Master Plan of Arterial Highways'(MPAH) represents the county wide arterial
network required to meet present and future traffic demand, and the Master Plan of
Arterial Highways Program is designed to provide a funding source that will aid the
build -out of the MPAH. Eligible projects include gap closures, widenings, and new
roadways. The amount of available funding for this program is set at 3.2 percent of
the net sales tax revenues annually, with a maximum of $100 million over the life of
the ordinance, therefore, this program may expire prior to the end of the one -half
percent sales tax. The estimated funding is $51.7 million for fiscal years 03/04
through 07/08. A minimum of 50 percent in matching funds is required from the
local agency.
Growth Management Areas Program
The Growth Management Areas Program is designed to blend both local and
regional planning perspectives and traffic control techniques. Through this program,
funds will be provided which benefit a Growth Management Area (GMA). Funding
priority will be provided to projects which benefit the greatest number of jurisdictions
within a GMA. The focus of this program is on addressing the cumulative regional
traffic impacts of development not addressed by specific project mitigation and
existing system deficiencies. Numerous types of improvements are eligible for this
program, including intersection improvements, signal coordination traffic
management systems, smart street type improvements, and signal preemption.
The amount of available funding is set at 3.2 percent of the net sales tax revenues
annually, with a maximum of $100 million over the life of the ordinance. The
estimated funding is $10 million for fiscal years 06/07 and 07/08. No matching
funds are required from the local agency.
