Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) is on track to complete the county’s first modern electric streetcar as ticket vending machines were approved Oct. 11.

The Orange County Streetcar is anticipated to run along a 4.15-mile route between the Santa Ana train station and Harbor Boulevard in Garden Grove.
