DISCUSSION Renewed Measure M {Measure M2) is a 30-year, multi-billion dollar program extension of the original Measure M (approved in 1990) with a new slate of planned projects and programs. Measure M2 is comprised of a number of components such as: Project O {Regional Capacity Program}, Project P (Regional Signal Synchronization Program), Project O {Local Fair Share Program), and the Transit Program (Projects S, T, V, and W}. The Comprehensive Transportation Funding Program {CTFP) represents a collection of competitive grant programs offered to local agencies. OCTA is responsible for planning and coordination of county regional transportation components, and administering a variety of funding sources including Renewed Measure M, state/federal gas taxes and Transportation Development Act (TDA) revenues. On March 22, 2010, the Board of Directors of the OCTA approved the guidelines for local agencies to apply for funding under the Renewed Measure {M2) and authorized their staff to issue a call far projects under the Regional Capacity Program of the CTFP. The amended guidelines were subsequently approved by the Board on September 26, 2011.
