The OCTA Board of Directors recently authorized staff to issue a Bicycle Corridor Improvement Program 2014 Call for Projects.
The call for projects identifies and awards funds to bicycle and pedestrian projects selected through a competitive process. Approximately $4.3 million is available to qualified Orange County agencies in fiscal year 2014-15. Eligible applicants must submit project proposals by 4:00 p.m. on September 30, 2014.
The Bicycle Corridor Improvement Program is funded using federal Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ) funds and is currently authorized under Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century (MAP - 21). The CMAQ program provides funding through annual appropriations to Orange County to be used for transportation-related projects that reduce congestion and improve air quality.
OCTA is responsible for selecting regionally significant projects for Orange County and working with the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) in administering selected projects.
