AlTACHMENT A
REGIONAL FUNDING PROGRAM CONSISTENCY
AND ELIGIBIL/1Y CRITERIA
CONSISTENCY DEFINITION
I
Consistency with the Master Plan of Arterial Highways (MP AH) is the primary criterion for
determining city and county commitment to maintaining the integrity of the regional
transportation system. For a city circulation element to be consistent with the MP AH, for
purposes of regional funding program eligibility, it shall have an equivalent planned
traffic-carrying capacity for all MPAH links within the city's jurisdiction.
"Planned capacity" shall be measured by the number of through lanes on each arterial
highway as shown on the local circulation element. Cities shall not be inconsistent as a
result of existing capacity limitations on arterials which are not yet constructed to the
circulation element designation. However, any city which unilaterally reduces the number
of through lanes of an MP AH arterial highway on its circulation element to less than shown
on the MP AH without County approval shall be inconsistent with the MP AH on the date
city council action is taken and is ineligible for regional funding until consistency is
re-established.
PROGRAM ELIGIBILITY
I
Local Agency Responsibility
Eligibility requirements shall be verified annually as follows:
1. For Measure M "Streets and Roads Maintenance and Road Improvements" ($450
million "tumback") funds, cities shall adopt a General Plan Circulation Element
which does not preclude implementation of the MPAH and shall take no action to
preclude implementation of the MP AH.
2.
For all competitive regional funding programs such as the Arterial Highway
Financing Program (AHFP), Orange County Unified Transportation Trust Fund
(OCUlT), Combined Road Fund (CRP), and Measure M "Regional Street and
Road Projects", "MPAH Improvements" and "Growth Management Area
Improvements", cities shall adopt:
a. a General Plan Circulation Element which is consistent with the MP AH,
and
b. a City Council resolution attesting that no unilateral reduction in lanes has
been made on any MP AH arterials.
I
Annual Review Process
Each year, County shall determine if city circulation elements provide equal numbers of
through lanes for each highway shown on the MPAH. County shall also ensure that local
agencies have not unilaterally reduced the number of lanes on any existing arterial highway
(effective April 1, 1991).

Resolution Number ~~~
Approval Process
Upon completion of the review, a joint committee of city and county representatives will
make recommendations for eligibility to the Orange County Transportation Authority for
Measure M, CRP, and OCUIT programs and to the County Board of Supervisors for
Arterial Highway Financing Program. These recommendations shall be reviewed and
formally approved by OCTA and the Board.
RE-ESTABLISHING PROGRAM ELIGIBILITY
Once a city has been determined to be ineligible for regional funds, it may seek to
re-establish eligibility by requesting a cooperative study be undertaken with County. The
study will be designed to 1) ascertain the regional transportation system need, 2) make
provisions to meet those needs in the city General Plan and 3) re-establish consistency
with the MPAH. Any changes to the city General Plan or the MPAH shall be mutually
acceptable to the city and the county. Until such a study has been completed, the City
shall be ineligible to receive applicable funds.
MUTUAL CHANGES TO CIRCULATION ELEMENT AND MPAH
A city and the County may mutually revise their respective circulation elements through the
cooperative process outlined above. Cities shall continue to be eligible to receive funds
while the cooperative study process is underway.
