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

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.

2. Managed – Objectives Aligned with Key Entities

4. Optimized - High level of TSM&O coordination among owner-operators

(state, local)

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

CALTRANS MISSION AND 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 resilient multimodal system supports a prosperous economy, human and environmental health, and social equity.

MISSION CTP VISION

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

Presentation for thePolicy Advisory Committee

California Transportation Plan 2040April 15, 2014

Agricultural Land Stewardship Planning

• 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

DWR Recognized a Critical Need:

• Engage Delta Farm Community in the BDCP Ag Issues

DWR Strategy:

• Create Agricultural Land Stewardship Work Group

Our Agricultural Stewardship Approach: • Gather mitigation ideas

• Meet with agricultural interests

• Build a set of creative options

• Refine options with input from agriculture

Principles• Voluntary actions• Consistent with project objectives• Provides benefits where impacts occur• Keep farmers on land

Recommendations from TAC- HOV/HOT lanes

- Increase occupancy rate +2 to +3- Completion of HOV network

- Transit- Increase frequency- Reduce transit fares

- Include all elements of Transportation System Management and Operation (TSMO) for Operational Efficiency cluster

- Park and ride lots (Roll into expand transit strategy)

- Voluntary Travel Behavior Change - Speed limits
