SANTA ANA, Calif.—With the Orange County Streetcar project running 40 percent behind schedule, the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) approved an additional $100 million to the project this week, bringing the 4-mile development to a total cost of $500 million.
“We are unhappy with where we’re at in terms of the status of the schedule and budget, but we also want to be open and transparent about what we think it will take to get it finished.” Daryl Johnson, CEO of OCTA, said during the Dec. 13 meeting.
