The Transportation Corridor Agencies are two joint powers authorities created in 1986 to plan, finance and construct Orange County’s 67-mile toll road system. Today 51 miles of the system are open and carry approximately 300,000 trips a day. The Environmental Impact Report and location for the final 16 miles of the system, called Foothill-South was approved by the Foothill/Eastern Transportation Corridor Agency Board of Directors in 2006. The project is currently in the permitting stage of the final approval process.
