If you’d like to keep an eye on Orange County’s sales tax for transportation, consider applying for OCTA's Measure M Taxpayer Oversight Committee (TOC). The 11-member committee monitors OCTA’s use of Measure M funds and ensures that all revenue collected from Measure M is spent on voter-approved transportation projects.
