  2. Auto Club’s Role … because we’ve been an advocate for mobility for over 100 years … because our 52 million members nationally, including 6 million in southern California, need and want optionsfor travel … because California needs mobility to prosper and grow

  3. Good and Adequate Roads =Mobility and Safety =Economy =Quality of Life. • Automobiles: 92% to 95% of all home-to-work trips, 98% of all trips • Highways: Almost all trips, including transit trips

  4. Road Capacity Has Not Kept Up

  5. Decades of Under-InvestmentCalifornia Data Capital Expenditures Per Capita (2000 Dollars)

  6. Similar Trend Nationally

  7. Federal Highway Spending per 1,000 Vehicle Miles Traveled and Loss of Purchasing Power Due to Inflation (1960 - 2005)

  8. The Results...

  9. Breakdown of Maintained Centerline Miles by Agency in California California’s 58 counties and 480 cities maintain 141,235 centerline miles of highways (82% of the state’s total)

  10. California’s Pavement Condition Index (PCI) 2008 68 2010 66 (At Risk) 2020 54 (if funding remains the same) The unfunded backlog will double from $39.1 billion to $63.6 billion 71-80 (good) 50-70 (at risk) 25-49 (poor)

  11. What Is Needed • $70.5 billion over the next 10 years to bring the PCI to BMP or most cost effective condition • $2.3 billion will be needed annually to maintain the BMP conditions once it is achieved • $3.1 billion is needed to maintain the existing conditions …….. More than TWICE the current level of funding at $1.42 billion/year

  12. What shall (or can) be done ? To even simply maintain the existing condition for our investment, valued at $271 billion, we NEED MORE MONEY Efforts by the California Transportation Commission (CTC) The newly, soon to be formed, Stakeholders Working Group The federal transportation reauthorization bill Regional transportation sales taxes, etc The squeaky wheel gets the grease

  13. Adapting to New Economic Realities Changing the red tape to red carpet More targeted and focused application for competitive funds Forming inter-jurisdictional collaborative Using economy-of-scale in delivering projects Innovate funding sources (PPP, tolling, etc) Technological breakthroughs
