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

In 2025, OCTA will focus on continuing to deliver 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 by OCTA Chair Doug Chaffee and CEO Darrell E. Johnson at the OCTA Board of Directors meeting on Jan. 27.

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.

“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 initiatives include:

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

The action plan includes 109 milestones that will provide the agency with strategic direction for implementation throughout 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.
