RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution Nos. 07-82 and 07-84 requesting that the
Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) include the City of Tustin's projects in the Fiscal
Years 2008-2009 and 2009-2010 Transportation Development Act and Transportation
Enhancement Activity Programs.
FISCAL IMPACT
If the two (2) proposed applications are approved by OCTA, the City's funding obligations for these
projects in the Seven-Year Capital Improvement Program will be reduced by $500,000 each.
BACKGROUND
The TDA Program is a federal program that provides grants to local and state agencies to be used
for bicycle and pedestrian facilities. The amount available countywide under the TDA Program is
$7.5 Million. The TEA Program is a federal program that provides grants to local and state
agencies to be used to better integrate transportation facilities into their surrounding communities,
including landscape and aesthetic enhancement. The amount available countywide under the TEA
Program is $6 Million. For each of the programs the City will be required to provide a minimum of
25 percent matching funds for an approved project. The total maximum amount of TDA and TEA
Program funding available for the each project is $500,000.
Staff has prepared a TDA Program application for the Newport Avenue Bicycle Trail Beautification
Project between Main Street and Irvine Boulevard. The proposed work on Newport Avenue
consists of bicycle trail, landscaping, irrigation, and drainage improvements along the Class I
Bicycle Trail adjacent to the west side of Newport Avenue. Staff has also prepared a TEA Program
application for the Edinger Avenue Beautification Project between east of Red Hill Avenue and west
of Jamboree Road. The proposed work on Edinger Avenue consists of landscaping and irrigation
installation along the north parkway of Edinger Avenue adjacent to the railway right-of-way. These
projects were selected based upon review of past application submittals, current established criteria
for funding, and evaluation of the project matching fund requirements.

Resolution Nos. 07-82 and 07-84 designate the projects to be submitted by the City for Fiscal Years
2008-2009 and 2009-2010 of the OCTA TDA and TEA Programs. The TDA and TEA Programs
funding eligibility requires City Council authorization to apply for funding under these Programs.
The applications for these projects were submitted to the OCTA by its deadline of September 28,
2007. Adopting resolutions after that date is acceptable to OCTA staff and serves to complete the
administration process for receipt of the applications.
