OC Streetcar Project Awarded $28 Million in Cap-and-Trade Funds
The OC Streetcar Project, the expected first of its kind in Orange County, was awarded $28 million last week as part of California's Transit and Intercity Rail Capital Program, which is funded by the state's cap-and-trade program.
The California State Transportation Agency (CalSTA) administers the TIRCP, which seeks to reduce statewide greenhouse gas emissions through rail and transit capital investments. The TIRCP awards totaled $390 million statewide--see Streetsblog coverage here.
