Study Overview
The Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) initiated the Transit System Study (TSS) to create a transit vision for the future–a more efficient, sustainable transit system that would support Orange County's growing population. The TSS focused on finding new, affordable ways of providing cost-effective bus services by making the best use of limited financial resources resulting from the continuing economic downturn.

Guiding Principles
OCTA developed guiding principles for the TSS to maximize bus service planning efficiency and to reduce dependency on external funding. The principles included:
• Invest in high performing services
• Replace lower performing services with lower cost services
• Integrate city shuttles that connect with Metrolink rail (Go Local* program) and community circulators with the fixed-route network
• Match service products to markets
• Improve service efficiency and speeds in an integrated network
*Go Local = OCTA plan to implement city-initiated transit extensions to Metrolink rail line.
