Focus Groups and
Tribal Listening Sessions
Policy Advisory Committee
• Seven General Public Focus Groups held in Summer of 2013• Locations:• Sacramento • Fresno/Madera (Central Valley) • Los Angeles (Metro) • Palm Desert (Coachella Valley) • Oakland (Bay Area) • Redding • Eureka
• Participants recruited primarily through Craig’s List• Between 10 and 13 participants at each session• Participants asked a set of questions• Multiple-choice – polling• Open-ended
CTP 2040 Focus Groups
CTP 2040 Focus GroupsMajor Outcomes
• CTP Vision Statement resonated with participants
• Transportation Funding is a major concern
• Travel Time (Efficiency) is No. 1 factor when participants made travel mode decisions
• Public Transportation received very strong support, but needs to be more convenient
• Bay Area Public Transportation is a good model – participants like Clipper Cards
CTP 2040 Focus GroupsMajor Outcomes (continued)
• Better Public Transportation would increase ridership
• Active Transportation needs to be better developed and more integrated
• Environmental Protection and Air Quality – general concern especially in rural areas
• Public Health and a Clean and Safe Environment particularly important in the Central Valley
• Pricing and/or New Taxes – participants divided on support
• Maintaining and Repairing Existing System should come first before expansion
• Four Tribal Listening Sessions Groups held July through December of 2013
• Locations:• San Diego County • Woodland • Redding • Lemoore
• Along with the CTP also covered the ITSP, Freight Mobility Plan, Rail Plan, and Strategic Highway Safety Plan
• Main objective was to get Tribes involved early in the process and hear from them about their issues, concerns, goals, etc.
• Around 20 Tribal Members at each session
CTP 2040 Tribal Listening Sessions
CTP 2040 Tribal Listening SessionsMajor Outcomes
• Lack of Accident Data on Tribal lands
• Tribal Transportation Project Funding – very confusing, difficult obstacles
• Cultural Resources – agencies are doing better but still problems
• Public Transportation – viable transit systems needed on Tribal lands
• Emergency Planning – wildfires, escape routes
CTP 2040 Tribal Listening SessionsMajor Outcomes
• Need Consistent Consultation and Outreach Process
• Partnering – Tribes would like to partner more with Caltrans and other agencies
• Tribal Transportation Plans – more Tribes need to do them and integrate with Regional Transportation Plans
• Safety – particularly for active transportation modes
• Active Transportation Availability
• SANDAG is a great model for working with Tribes

GHG Reduction Strategies Framework
Vehicle Efficiency
Vehicle Technology
California Air Resources Board Vision for Clean Air Model
The department shall address how the state will achieve
maximum feasible emissions....as required by AB 32 and 80 percent below 1990
level by 2050, taking into consideration the use of new vehicle technology. (SB 391)
Low-Carbon Fuels
Fuel Technology
California Air Resources BoardVision for Clean Air Model
"The department shall address how the state will achieve maximum feasible
emissions....as required by AB 32 and 80 percent below 1990
level by 2050, taking into consideration the use of
alternative fuels. (SB 391)
VMT Moderation or Reduction
Pricing
VMT fee, Congestion/Cordon pricing, Tolling, Carbon taxes, Pay-as-you-drive insurance, Park fees, Reduce parking
capacity
Transportation Alternatives
Telecommuting, Alternative Work Schedules,
Carpool/vanpool programs for both work and non-work
trips, Car sharing programs
Mode Shift
Mode shift Incentives by greater investments
*Passenger: Transit, Bike, Ped, HSR expansion
*Freight: Rail, Air, Marine cargo expansion
Vehicle/System Operations
Operational Efficiency
Ramp metering, HOV and HOT Lanes, Lowered speed limits, Speed enforcement, Design of highways to reduce high
speeds and low speeds, Roundabouts, ITS, Eliminate bottlenecks, Truck only lanes

TAC Strategies Implementation Discussion
Operational Efficiency • HOV Implementation
• Change statewide HOV occupancy from HOV+2 to HOV+3?• Replace existing General Purpose lanes with HOV or add new
HOV lanes to system?• Bottleneck Relief
• Remove this strategy and focus on other Transportation System Planning, Management, and Operation strategies?
Other Strategies that need to be discussed?
