OCTA Helps Shape Future of Southern California Transportation

As the county transportation commission, OCTA serves as the agency responsible for planning, developing and funding Orange County’s transportation programs and services.

In November, OCTA CEO Darrell E. Johnson shared strategies for addressing transportation challenges in Orange County and the region at the Self-Help Counties Coalition’s (SHCC) annual Focus on the Future conference.  

This premier event brought together more than 800 attendees including transportation leaders, policymakers and industry experts from across California. This year’s conference provided valuable insights into key trends, funding opportunities and innovative approaches to meeting transportation infrastructure needs.

The conference highlighted collaborative strategies for maintaining and enhancing self-help county programs, navigating legislative priorities and preparing for significant events such as the 2028 Olympics.
