Santa Ana — FTA Full Funding Grant Agreement

November 2018

The FTA on November 30 announced a $149 million Full Funding Grant Agreement with the Orange County Transportation Authority for the planned 4.1-mile streetcar line.

Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao said the Capital Investment Grant would "help expand public transportation options in Southern California, improving mobility and access to jobs for the riders who take public transit every day."

FTA Acting Administrator K. Jane Williams added that the streetcar "will provide important multi-modal connections to Amtrak, Metrolink commuter rail, Greyhound, and local bus service."

The agreement is the third such agreement signed under the Trump administration.
