To address transportation projects in Orange County without a dedicated sales tax funding source, the Orange County Board of Commissioners passed a $100 million Accelerated Transportation Safety Program in 2023. The program provides $55 million for roadway lighting, sidewalks, and safety improvements, and provides $45 million to improve LYNX operational frequency and bus shelters.
