Balance, Resiliency, and Sustainability Guide OCTA’s 2025 Initiatives

OCTA Chair Doug Chaffee and CEO Darrell E. Johnson unveil action plan for OCTA to sustain and enhance an innovative transportation network for all Orange County

ORANGE – The Orange County Transportation Authority in 2025 will focus on continuing to deliver the public with a transportation network that is balanced, reliable and equitable, while remaining fiscally responsible and resilient.

Those guiding principles are part of the 2025 Board and CEO Strategic Initiatives and Action Plan, which was unveiled during Monday’s board meeting by OCTA Chair Doug Chaffee and CEO Darrell E. Johnson.

Each year, the newly selected chair works with the CEO to create and present the document that guides the agency’s efforts throughout the coming year. The initiatives are then presented to the full 17-member Board, which reviewed this year's plan on Monday.

"This action plan is our roadmap for how to deliver on the promises made to voters through Measure M, to provide a reliable and equitable transportation system,” said OCTA Chair Doug Chaffee, also the County’s Fourth District Supervisor. “I look forward to working with my colleagues on the Board to continue improving Orange County’s transportation network in the months ahead."

The overarching initiatives for OCTA in 2025 include:

  • Providing the Public with a Balanced, Sustainable, and Equitable Transportation System
  • Ensuring Organization Resiliency through Fiscal & Environmental Responsibility
  • Upholding Organizational Excellence, Diversity and Collaboration.

To support those initiatives, OCTA staff presented to the Board an action plan with 109 planned milestones for the year.

“By laying out these priorities at the start of the year, we ensure that OCTA Board members and staff are working together on an ambitious, equitable and sustainable plan to keep Orange County moving safely and efficiently,” CEO Johnson said.
