Title

Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) 2006 Long Range Transportation Plan Program EIR

Description

The 2006 LRTP is made of four components: freeways, roadways, transit, and environmental programs. The proposed plan includes significant transportation improvements that would partially address future congestion and mobility needs but would require supplemental local funding such as continuation of Orange County's transportation sales tax beyond its current expiration in 2011 in addition to the traditional annual revenues from state and federal transportation funding. OCTA has prepared a Transportation Investment Plan, which, if approved by Orange County voters, would renew Measure M, the existing half-cent sales tax, beyond its current sunset date of 2011. The proposed plan includes improvements to existing freeways, tollways, roadways, and transit (bus and rail) systems as well as an environmental program aimed at offsetting the water quality impacts of existing and proposed transportation facilities.
