  2. Policy Advisory Committee Welcome and Introductions

  3. Policy Advisory Committee Agenda Review

  4. Policy Advisory Committee Interregional Transportation Strategic Plan and the CTP PAC

  5. Caltrans’ Transportation system management & operations Creating sustainable transportation system performance & reliability Kris KuhlAssistant Division Chief, Division of Traffic Operations CTP 2040 PAC

  6. Transportation System Management & Operations • What is TSM&O? • TSM&O Vision • How TSM&O relates to Caltrans’ mission and CTP vision • The “whole enchilada” - Integrated Corridor Management • Congested Corridors to Connected Corridors

  7. Transportation System Management & Operations • In partnership with transportation stakeholders, Transportation System Management & Operations (TSM&O) envisions a coordinated, well-maintained and efficiently performing technological infrastructure. • TSM&O uses real-time traffic management to improve safety, optimize flow and minimize transportation impacts on the environment, while adhering to statewide standards and consistency with federal rules and regulations.

  8. Transportation System Management Vision System Management Current State Desired State Business Processes 1. Performed – Silo Approach 4. Optimized - TSM&O integrated into multi-modal plans, programs, budgets Systems & Technology 1. Performed –Ad Hoc Approaches to Implementation 4. Optimized - Architectures and technology routinely upgraded to SOP Performance Measurement 2. Managed – Real Time Data Being Developed 4. Optimized - Performance Measures reported internally and externally 2. Managed – Senior Management Supports TSM&O 4. Optimized – Customer mobility Service commitment is formal, top level program Culture Organization 2. Managed – TSM&O Clarified in HQ 4. Optimized TSM&O managers at same level and staff professionalized Workforce & Collaboration 2. Managed – Objectives Aligned with Key Entities 4. Optimized - High level of TSM&O coordination among owner-operators (state, local)

  9. The “Whole Enchilada” – Integrated Corridor Management • Caltrans seeks to implement TMS&O on our most congested corridors through Integrated Corridor Management, or ICM. • (ICM) Optimizes the use of existing infrastructure assets and leverages unused capacity

  10. Integrated Corridor Management • ICM is a coordinated system management of freeways, ramps, arterials and other local roadways to provide safe, reliable travel for all users in all modes, using: • Fully functioning TMS systems • Well-maintained infrastructure • Managed/Priced lanes • Advanced ramp meter operations • Enhanced communication networks • Freeway Service Patrol & Incident Management strategies • Enhanced traveler information • Decision support system • Approved concepts of operations with local and regional partners

  11. Benefits of ICM – Delay Reduction

  12. ICM and GHG Reductions

  13. CALTRANS MISSION AND CTP VISION MISSION CTP VISION • Provide a safe, sustainable, integrated and efficient transportation system to enhance California’s economy and livability. • California's transportation system is safe, sustainable, and globally competitive. It provides reliable and efficient mobility and accessibility for people, goods, and services while meeting our greenhouse gas emission reduction goals and preserving community character. This integrated, connected, and resilientmultimodal system supports a prosperous economy, human and environmental health, and social equity.

  14. Changing Congested Corridors to Connected Corridors • Caltrans will lead ICM implementation in California by targeting the most congested corridors. • Connected Corridors: • Enables coordination of existing transportation infrastructure and vehicles • Delivers improved corridor performance • Improves accountability • Evolves Caltrans to real-time operations and management • Enhances regional , local and private sector partnerships

  15. State, Regional and Local Partnerships • Connected Corridors Pilot – Overview • Caltrans/UC PATH/Regional collaborative effort to select the most suitable corridor • Corridor’s Infrastructure readiness • Least impacted by planned construction • Cities’ relative infrastructure/ technological advancement • Significant Congestion • Number of Incidents and Events • Parallel arterials • Top Priority Corridors for Investment – I-110 and I-210 in Los Angeles and the SR-57/SR-91/ I-5 triangle in Orange County

  17. Policy Advisory Committee Agricultural Land Stewardship

  18. Agricultural Land Stewardship Planning Presentation for the PolicyAdvisory Committee California Transportation Plan 2040 April 15, 2014

  19. Proposed projects could have huge impacts on agriculture through land use changes • Social and economic impacts not well suited to CEQA, NEPA action • Public wants involvement in program planning UC Small Farm Program

  20. DWR Recognized a Critical Need: • Engage Delta Farm Community in the BDCP Ag Issues • DWR Strategy: • Create Agricultural Land Stewardship Work Group

  21. Our Agricultural Stewardship Approach: • Gather mitigation ideas • Meet with agricultural interests • Build a set of creative options • Refine options with input from agriculture

  22. Principles • Voluntary actions • Consistent with project objectives • Provides benefits where impacts occur • Keep farmers on land Central Valley Joint Venture

  23. Developed in cooperation with: California Department of Food and Agriculture California Department of Conservation Delta Conservancy Delta Stewardship Council Delta Protection Commission De

  24. Agency Group • CDFW • State Parks • State Water Quality Control Board • Regional Water Quality Control Board • Office of Planning and Research • USBR • USFWS • NOAA Fisheries

  25. Resource Conservation Districts California Farm Bureau Federation Natural Resources Conservation Service Delta Five-County Farm Bureaus State Board of Food and Agriculture California Water Commission Reclamation Districts Delta Land Trusts

  26. Types of Engagement • Formal — commission meetings, conferences • Semi-formal — local governments, permitting agencies, reclamation districts and other local agencies • Informal — individuals, farm bureaus, nonprofits • Interactive Website

  27. Work Products • Background documents • Planning Framework • Strategies

  28. Framework • Develop Agricultural Land Stewardship Plans • Integrate projects with existing uses • Mitigate for loss of farmland • Address economic and social impacts

  29. Examples of Strategies Reduce Conflict Between Agriculture and Nearby Habitat Projects

  30. Examples of Strategies • Identify Benefits of Funding for Open Space Subventions • e.g., Williamson Act

  31. Examples of Strategies Agricultural Conservation Easements CalCan

  32. Examples of Strategies Improve Transportation Infrastructure

  33. Examples of Strategies Develop Land Use Studies Promote Economic Development UCANR

  34. Examples of Strategies Identify Governance for Agricultural Mitigation • RCDs • Land Trusts • Conservancies • Commissions • Counties
