The CTFP is the funding mechanism by which OCTA administers competitive funding for streets and road projects, including the Intersection Capacity Enhancement Program, which funds capital improvements, such as the addition of turning lanes at qualifying intersections.

The City is submitting an application for the 2023 CTFP call for projects for Construction Phase funding. The City is requesting $3,704,967.50 (65%) in grant funding, with a matching local obligation of $1,994,982.50 (35%) for a total project cost of $5,699,950.

There is no impact to the General Fund. If approved, the CTFP program will provide 65% of funding, and the remaining 35% local match will be funded by Gas Tax in the amount of $1,994,982.50 for this grant cycle.

It is recommended that the City Council:

• Adopt the attached Resolution authorizing the submittal of a grant application to the OCTA’s Comprehensive Transportation Funding Program for the City of Garden Grove’s Harbor/Garden Grove Intersection Improvement Project Construction Phase; and

• Appropriate $3,704,967.50 (65%) in grant funding, and $1,994,982.50 (35%) from Gas Tax for a total project cost of $5,699,950 once grant application is approved.
