Requirements to Receive Funds

OC Go funds are intended to augment, rather than replace, existing transportation expenditures and therefore local jurisdictions must meet the following requirements to receive the funds:

• Comply with the conditions and requirements of the Orange County Congestion Management Program (CMP)
• Establish a policy which requires new development to pay its fair share of transportation-related improvements associated with their new development
• Adopt a General Plan Circulation Element consistent with the MPAH
• Adopt and update a Capital Improvement Program (CIP)
• Participate in Traffic Forums
• Adopt and maintain a Local Signal Synchronization Plan (LSSP)
• Adopt and update biennially a Pavement Management Plan (PMP)
• Adopt and provide an annual Expenditure Report to OCTA
• Provide OCTA with a Project Final Report within six months following completion of a project funded with Net Revenues
• Agree to expend Net Revenues received through OC Go within three years of receipt
• Satisfy Maintenance of Effort (MOE) requirements
• Agree that Net Revenues shall not be used to supplant developer funding
• Consider, as part of the eligible jurisdiction’s General Plan, land use and planning strategies that accommodate transit and non-motorized transportation
