Measure M 10-Year Review and Outreach Continue 

OCTA is continuing its 10-year review of Measure M2, the county’s voter-approved half-cent sales tax for transportation improvements.  

Required by the Measure M2 Ordinance, the 10-year review is conducted at least once every decade to evaluate the overall performance of the plan, which is expected to generate $14 billion through 2041. The review helps ensure that projects and programs remain aligned with Orange County’s evolving transportation needs.  

The current review, OCTA’s second since the plan was renewed by voters, includes a comprehensive assessment of progress to date, identification of performance issues or constraints and an evaluation of stakeholder and public support.  

Outreach efforts are ongoing and are designed to increase awareness, gather community feedback and assess support for Measure M. Engagement strategies include focus groups, surveys, community events, pop-up booths, public meetings, a dedicated project webpage, social media campaigns and briefings with stakeholders and elected officials.   

Public outreach is scheduled to continue through September, and the final report is expected to be presented to the OCTA Board in early 2026.
