Newport Beach, CA, October 03, 2018 --(PR.com)-- JOA, a leading provider of project and construction management to public, private, and institutional clients in Southern California, announced today that it has been selected by the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) to serve as an on-call consultant for the Measure M2 Program Management Office.

Working with HCS, we will have the opportunity to advance the transportation capabilities of OCTA throughout the Southland.”
