OCTA seeks feedback to determine how to expand, enhance transit services for next 30 years and beyond
ORANGE - The Orange County Transportation Authority is seeking public input as the agency continues to develop the OC Transit Vision, a study that aims to improve opportunities for the way people move throughout the county.
With the 2024 OC Transit Vision Master Plan, OCTA is building upon a previous plan developed in 2018 and other recent studies to build a framework that will guide investments in future transit options, potentially including more bus service, streetcars, and microtransit such as community shuttles.
Two options for participating include:
The OC Transit Vision, which aims to enhance and expand current public transit options during the next 30 years, will review the county's existing transit corridors, analyze which travel modes are most desired and how infrastructure could be designed to better support efficient public transit. The plan will also address current and emerging transit technologies, respond to evolving ridership trends, and outline potential funding sources.
The updated OC Transit Vision will provide a consistent, countywide transit approach that will be shared with cities and other partner agencies to enhance coordination of future transit-related recommendations and projects throughout Orange County and the region.
The final study, which will be completed with the help of recommendations from the public, is expected to be presented to the OCTA Board by the end of the year.
