The Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) is the primary transportation agency for Orange County, California. It was formed in 1991 through the consolidation of seven separate agencies and is governed by a 17-member Board of Directors, with the Caltrans District Director serving as an 18th ex-officio member. Based in Orange, OCTA coordinates a set of mobility services that includes bus transit, Metrolink rail, and the 91 Express Lanes toll facility, along with funding for freeway and street improvements, vanpool subsidies, and rideshare options. OCTA serves residents and travelers seeking alternatives to driving, contributing to regional mobility and infrastructure development in the county. In 2026, the organization expanded externally through a partnership with MTM Transit, and continued activities related to land preservation, including acquisitions of conservation properties totaling more than 1,300 acres.
