The Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) issues a Combined Transportation Funding Programs (CTFP) Call for Projects biennially to all eligible local agencies. The CTFP encompasses Measure M streets and roads competitive programs, as well as federal sources such as the Regional Surface Transportation Program (RSTP). CTFP was created to provide local agencies with a common set of guidelines and project selection criteria for a variety of funding programs.
The Measure M element includes the Regional Streets and Roads component including: Smart Streets, Regionally Significant Interchanges, Intersection Improvements, Signal Coordination, and Transportation Demand Management. The Local Streets and Roads component includes the Master Plan of Arterial Highways and Growth Management Areas. Federal sources are also used in the CTFP to fund capital and street rehabilitation projects.
OCTA issued a call for projects to fund Measure M and federal Regional Surface Transportation Program funds for local streets and roads improvements. This competitive process identified 509 projects for funding over the next five years. These projects were funded through a variety of Measure M programs and cover the entire County.
This 2004 Call for Projects was made for the following programs:
- Regional Interchange Program (RIP)

OCTA staff will work with the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) to include all regionally significant projects in the Regional Transportation Improvement Plan (RTIP). Each local agency must have a current cooperative agreement with OCTA in order to receive Measure M funds. The projects approved by the Board will be incorporated into amended cooperative agreements with the affected agencies.
OCTA staff will continue to monitor project status and project delivery through the semi-annual review process. Reports on project adjustments are brought to the Board for review twice each year.
