Central County Corridor LPS

1.Default Section

Central Orange County is a great place to live, work and play. And planning for its transportation future is very important.

As the county's transportation planning agency, OCTA is currently studying ways to improve the future transportation network in central Orange County, a process known as the Central County Corridor Major Investment Study (CCCMIS). This process includes evaluating a number of street, freeway and transit improvement concepts for:

• cost
• anticipated ability to relieve traffic
• potential impact on the community

As part of the study process, OCTA has been meeting with policy-makers, technical experts and community stakeholers. Ultimately, the OCTA Board of Directors will select what is called a locally-preferred strategy (LPS), which will serve as a blueprint for future transportation projects.

To help develop the LPS, please give us your opinions on potential transportation improvements for central Orange County by answering the brief survey below.
