OCTA’s ACCESS service received an award in the Staffing and Service Delivery category for cost-saving efforts achieved by awarding the ACCESS service contract to MV Transportation, Inc. as well as the use of technology to improve the on-time performance of ACCESS service.
In addition, Johnson received the ACC OC’s Innovator of the Year Award in recognition of OCTA’s many innovative programs and contributions.
Golden Hub Awards recognize cities and agencies whose programs save taxpayers money, reduce expenses, and improve management and operations. The ACC-OC was founded in 2011 as the hub for public policy and serves as the regional advocate for local control.
