New Community Shuttles Funded Through Measure M OCTA has been working with the cities to develop new transportation services to replace and supplement routes that have been discontinued and changed. Made possible through a Measure M-funded program that helps cities develop solutions that complement regional bus and rail services to meet needs in areas not served by regional transit, the new services will help residents adapt to the changing bus system and provide alternate ways to get around Orange County. Measure M is Orange County’s half-cent sales tax for transportation improvements.
