| When an increase in volume slowed traffic throughout the County in the late 1980s, Orange County voters took matters into their own hands. In 1990, they approved Measure M, a 20-year program for local transportation improvements funded by a half-cent sales tax. Measure M was a contract with the voters, promising to deliver a number of transportation improvements. Specific safeguards were put in place to review and certify that funds are spent according to the voter-approved plan. Voters entrusted the newly created Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) to administer Measure M funds. |  |
