OCTA Invites Public to Help Shape Orange County’s Transportation Future

Review the draft plan and share feedback to help guide transportation investment through 2050

ORANGE – OCTA is inviting residents, businesses and community leaders to help shape the future of transportation by reviewing and providing feedback on the draft 2026 Long-Range Transportation Plan (LRTP).

The LRTP, updated every four years, serves as OCTA's blueprint for transportation investments through 2050. The plan evaluates how Orange County's population, economy and travel needs are expected to change and identifies strategies to improve the way people move throughout the county, maintain aging transportation infrastructure, address funding challenges and build a transportation system that remains safe, reliable and resilient for future generations.

Community feedback received during the public review period will help refine the final plan before it is considered by the OCTA Board of Directors later this year.

Opportunities for Public Input

Community members can participate in several ways:

  • Telephone Town Hall
    Wednesday, Aug. 5, from 6 to 7 p.m.
    Register at LRTP-townhall.com or call 1-888-400-1932
  • Online Community Meeting
