A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH
AUTHORIZING SUBMISSION OF AN APPLICATION TO THE ORANGE COUNTY
TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITY FOR COMPETITIVE FUNDING UNDER THE
MEASURE 2 PROGRAM FOR PROJECT V TO PROVIDE COMMUNITY-BASED
TRANSIT/CIRCULATORS
WHEREAS, the Orange County Transportation Authority makes state, federal and
local funding available to the 34 incorporated cities and the County of Orange for eligible
projects through a competitive process to improve all modes of surface transportation; and
The Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) Board of Directors (Board)
approved the release of a call for projects for the Renewed Measure M (M2) Project V
Community-Based Transit/Circulators Funding Program on November 26, 2012; and
The M2 Program establishes a competitive process to enable local jurisdictions to
develop local bus transit services that complement regional transit services, and meet needs in
areas not adequately serviced by regional transit; and
The City of Huntington Beach seeks to relieve congestion and improve access to the
Downtown each year on July 4th and during the U.S. Open of Surfing by providing free
shuttle service connections from OCTA routes and transportation centers starting in 2014 as
an alternative to driving, and to support transit services impacted by congestion and street
closures during the holiday; and
The City of Huntington Beach will provide necessary matching funds for the project
as required by M2 program; and
The program will supplement, rather than supplant, existing shuttle service provided
by the City, as that service is not currently provided on the holiday,
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Huntington Beach does hereby
resolve as follows:
The Director of Public Works or his/her designee is hereby authorized to submit a
grant application to the Orange County Transportation Authority under the Measure M
