Every day, Orange County benefits from OC Go. This comprehensive transportation program, also known as Measure M, provides improvements for freeways, streets, streetcar and rail infrastructure, mobility services and the environment and is funded by a local transportation half-cent sales tax.
Members of the OC Go Taxpayer Oversight Committee (TOC) monitor OCTA’s use of OC Go funds and ensure that all revenue collected from OC Go is spent on voter-approved transportation projects. Volunteers are needed to serve on this committee.
Applications are due by May 3, 2024.
The TOC is an independent 11-member committee that monitors OCTA’s use of revenue collected through OC Go, the county’s half-cent sales tax for transportation improvements. OC Go is also known as Measure M. The TOC has spent more than a decade ensuring that all OC Go funds are spent on voter-approved transportation projects.
