  1. Statewide Transit Strategic Plan CalACT 2011 Spring Conference Presented by: Jila Priebe California Department of Transportation Division of Mass Transportation Office of Statewide Planning, Policy, Research, &Capital, Statewide Transit Planning Branch

  2. Division of Mass Transportation • Primary Functions: • Administering State and Federal Grant Programs • Providing technical assistance to agencies responsible for public transit • Supporting development of multi-modal transportation systems that increase mobility and access choices

  3. Division of Mass Transportation • Objectives • Encourage the development of mass transportation concepts to mitigate congestion • Promote the transit component of integrated multi-modal transportation systems through training, partnership, outreach, and studies • Lead and support transit research to improve the productivity of transit to enhance options

  4. State Plans— California Interregional Blueprint & CTP Update • Enhancing the scope of the next update – the California Transportation Plan (CTP) 2040 • Launching the first statewide effort to integrate proposed rail, goods movement, interregional road, and other strategic transportation projects into a single document • Improving decision making for better project delivery • Integrating statewide modal plans • Building upon existing Regional Transportation Plans and Regional Blueprint Plans

  5. Statewide Transit Strategic Plan • The California Department of Transportation, in collaboration with the CTA and CalACT, will embark on an effort to develop the Statewide Transit Strategic Plan • In the process of contracting with the Institute of Transportation Studies, University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), to assist with developing the plan • The STSP will be developed over an 18-month period from May 2010 to March 2012

  6. Statewide Transit Strategic Plan • Goals & Objectives: • Increase Cooperation with the Transit Community • Create a collective vision for California’s future transportation system through collaboration and coordination with the transit community • Identify and integrate transit elements into Caltrans transportation planning and technical documents (e.g., Blueprint) • Identify barriers that prevent the public from using transit services (funding, service connectivity, coordination, etc.) • Develop implementable recommendations that support the transit community as a whole, and assist Caltrans with “improving mobility” • Organizational support and collaboration

  7. Statewide Transit Strategic Plan • This plan will be developed over three phases: • (1) Baseline conditions, the compilation of background data and information on existing transit plans, identification of data sources for evaluating existing and future transit services • (2) Stakeholder engagement, forging a vision, and key inputs to a strategic issues and actions report,formation of a steering and advisory committee, interviews and workshops • (3) Plan Preparation, including an issues and actions report. The report and Executive Summary of strategic issues for consideration, possible areas for consensus and recommendations for developing strategies and actions to better support transit and integrate transit with other modal planning.

  8. Project Progress & Status • Started the project in May 2010 • Held two Steering Committee meetings (June & October) • First draft of the Baseline Condition Report • For Committee review, provided comments • Working on updating and incorporating comments • Contract Status: • Changed contract Principle Investigator • From UC Berkley to UCLA • Scope of Work—remains the same except: • One-on-one interviews with stakeholders • Workshops will be integrated with the California Interregional Blueprint • New task—prepare a research-based report on cost effectiveness of transit improvements

  9. Summary of Baseline Conditions Report • Baseline conditions, the compilation of background data and information on existing transit plans, identification of data sources for evaluating existing and future transit services • Short Range Transit Plans • Data, Policies • Demographic Trend • performances measures • Transit sources of funding • Regional Connectivity • specialized transit • Bike & pedestrian • California State Controllers: Transit Operators and Non-Transit Claimants Annual Report • National Transit Database

  16. Next Steps • UCLA will conduct one-on-one interviews and synthesize data • UCLA will produce the Strategic Issues Document • Highlighting common transit issues across California • Cost Effectiveness of Transit Improvement • Meet with the STSP Advisory Committee to discuss findings • Findings will be presented at the California Interregional Blueprint Workshops
