(Status Report: 05- 030 -00)
Livable Communities (Phase 3, Year 2) - $150,000 Requested
Funding will be used to complete the second year of the OCCOG's Inter - disciplinary Design
Competition begun using 1999 -00 OWP funds. Design Competition is being undertaken to .
solicit ideas on accommodating future growth in Orange County, and is also being offered to
educate youth in Orange County schools regarding transportation and planning issues,
techniques, and solutions. Project will also serve to establish transportation, planning and
livability objectives for Orange County, with commensurate performance paths (strategies) for
achieving such objectives.
Demographic Support - $80,000 Requested
Support of continued database / demographics support for Orange County Growth Forecast and
use in SCAG planning activities.
ACCESS Support / Database development - $85,000 Requested
Funding to be used for continued work to improve practicality and usefulness of ACCESS and to
initiate database information exchange between SCAG and Orange County jurisdictions and
agencies. Funding also to be used for updating Orange County databases, including General
Plans, for inclusion in SCAG's regional data set.
RTP Completion - $50,000 Requested
The project will continue Orange County's participation in the RTP process. Specifically,
OCCOG will continue to provide information to Orange County cities and the public about the
regional transportation plan. OCCOG will participate in all RTP related meetings.
Regional Economic Development Forum - $75,000 Requested
In conjunction with local and regional stakeholders, as well as groups such as the California
Association for Local Economic Development (CALED), OCCOG will hold a forum to discuss
collaborative approaches to regional economic development. Topics to be discussed will include
Orange County's role in moving goods from the port area to the rest of California and beyond
and the needed infrastructure to sustain growth. OCCOG will reach out to educational, business
and other regional groups to start a dialog about the future of Orange County's economic growth.
Water Supply and Urban Runoff Awareness Campaign - $50,000 Requested
The cities in Orange County were made aware of the impacts of urban runoff with the closures in
Huntington Beach last year. In addition, cities in south Orange County fear diminishing water
supplies as allocations from the Colorado River are lowered. OCCOG will work with regional
water districts, the Sanitation District and others to develop a public education and awareness
campaign. OCCOG will also try to facilitate a dialog between cities, special districts and state
agencies to better understand the scope of the problem and how to approach dealing with urban
runoff.
41
Outreach Services for SCAG - $60,000 Requested
Continuing our work with SCAG, OCCOG will provide outreach and educational services for
SCAG projects and programs within the sub - region.
Orange County Commuter Bike Route Viability Study - $70,000 Requested
Description: Project will evaluate Orange County's existing Master Plan of Bikeways and
provide recommendations / information for consideration in the potential implementation of
specific commuter bike paths (in addition to existing recreational routes). Study will identify
opporttmities / constraints, identify funding opportunities, and solicit input / support from
jurisdictions, employers, and funding agencies.
Evaluation of EIR Assumptions and Mitigation Measures - $95,000 Requested
Project will assess assumptions and mitigation measures made for various project proposals
undertaken during the last twenty years to assess whether appropriate / adequate transportation
mitigation is successful pursuant to project development. Results will be used to help local
jurisdictions better improve proposed development assumptions and conditioned mitigation
measures.
Additional Projects (Recommended)
Smart Shuttle Project (Phase II) - $75,000 Requested
Funding will be used to complete planning and implementation process for the Anaheim Resort
Transportation Shuttle Project. The second phase of the project will concentrate on the
completion of the Smart Shuttle routes, stops, and signage program. Efforts to procure intelligent
transportation system (ITS) components will be completed in this phase. Cost- effectiveness,
applicability, sustainability, and customer acceptance of the ITS tools in Smart Shuttle
applications will be evaluated as related to tourism travel and work - related trips.
Orange County Benchmarks (Phase II) - $55,000 Requested
Project will update Orange County Phase I Performance Indicators and convene Orange County
interests ( OCCOG member agencies and others) to begin process of developing specific
performance benchmarks (goals) and establishing mechanisms for goal tracking and
achievement. Project will dovetail with regional goal- setting being undertaken by SCAG.
