SCHINDLER, CITY MANAGER MICHAEL GRISSO, DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS APPROVAL OF RESOLUTION NO. 25-67 AUTHORIZING APPLICATION AND SUPPORT FOR THE IRVINE BOULEVARD / FOURTH STREET REGIONAL TRAFFIC SIGNAL SYNCHRONIZATION PROJECT Staff is proposing to submit a grant application to the Orange County Transportation Authority for funding under Measure M2 for the Regional Signal Synchronization Program. The proposed Irvine Boulevard / Fourth Street Regional Traffic Signal Synchronization Project would be implemented in partnership with the City of Santa Ana to improve traffic flow and reduce congestion along this regional corridor. The Orange County Transportation Agency's process requires the City Council to adopt a resolution of support and authorize the grant application submittal. RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 25-67, approving the submittal of the Irvine Boulevard / Fourth Street Regional Traffic Signal Synchronization Project application to the Orange County Transportation Authority for funding under Measure M2 for projects for the Regional Traffic Signal Synchronization Program. FISCAL IMPACT: The total estimated cost for the Irvine Boulevard / Fourth Street Regional Traffic Signal Synchronization Project is $1,950,000. If the project is selected for grant funding, 80 percent of the total cost will be funded by the grant, with participating agencies providing a required 20 percent as local match for the remaining project balance. The estimated cost of the City of Tustin's portion of the project is $1,125,000, of which 80% or $900,000 would be funded through the grant, with $225,000 as Tustin's required local match contribution to the project. If the project is selected in Spring 2026, staff will return to the City Council with a funding recommendation and request for appropriation for the City's local match.

BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION: On September 8, 2025, the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) issued the 2026 Call for Projects for the Regional Traffic Signal Synchronization Program (RTSSP). OCTA has identified the coordination of traffic signals across jurisdictional boundaries as a major component in enhancing County -wide traffic flow and reducing congestion. Traffic corridors considered for grant funding are reviewed for high traffic volumes and the measurable benefit of interagency signal synchronization. The proposed project is between Irvine Boulevard / Jamboree Road and includes 14 signalized intersections within the City of Tustin, and Fourth Street / French Street and includes 12 signalized intersections within the City of Santa Ana. The RTSSP projects allow agencies to implement traffic signal timing coordination and communications equipment improvements throughout the designated corridor. A resolution (Attachment 1) by the City Council is required to affirm and formally authorize the submittal of the grant funding application. If supported and should the project be awarded this grant, staff will return to the City Council with a Cooperative Agreement between the Cities, which will outline each agency's responsibilities and financial commitments. In addition, the project will be added to the City's Capital Improvement Program Budget as part of the annual budget preparation process.
