Statewide Transit Strategic Plan
CalACT2011
Spring Conference
Presented by:
Jila PriebeCalifornia Department of TransportationDivision of Mass TransportationOffice of Statewide Planning, Policy, Research, &Capital, Statewide Transit Planning Branch
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
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
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
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
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
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.
Started the project in May 2010
Held two Steering Committee meetings (June & October)
First draft of the Baseline Condition Reporto For Committee review, provided commentso Working on updating and incorporating comments
Contract Status:o Changed contract Principle Investigatoro From UC Berkley to UCLA
Scope of Work—remains the same except:o One-on-one interviews with stakeholderso Workshops will be integrated with the California Interregional Blueprinto New task—prepare a research-based report on cost effectiveness of transit improvements

Program Overview New Program Requirements Program Update Funding Issues Q & A
Created by Proposition 1B, the Highway Safety, Traffic Reduction, Air Quality, and Port Security Bond Act of 2006.
$3.6 billion dollars was allocated to PTMISEA available to transit operators over a ten-year period.
Use of Funds: -Safety or modernization improvements, -Capital service enhancements or expansions, -New capital projects, -BRT-Rolling stock procurement, rehabilitation or replacement.
Expenditure Plans Revised guidelines include a few changes
◦ Primarily, we will not allocate any funding to agencies that are behind in their reporting.
Certifications and Assurances document
Expenditure Plans◦ Agencies submit their plan for the life of the bond
First required in the FY 09/10 year Indicates project description, when scheduled and cost. Enables Legislature to appropriate according to need
◦ Amended Expenditure Plans are due June 30 each year.
◦ Allocation requests must be consistent with the Expenditure Plan on file.
No new allocations until all past due reports have been turned in. ◦ Semi-Annual Progress Reports are due February
15th and August 15th each year◦ A Copy of the TDA audit showing the receipt and

Next bond sale will likely be November 2011
PTMISEA competes with other bond programs WHEN bonds are sold.
We must “sell” the value of our bonds to receive a larger share of each sale.
Public visibility of PTMISEA projects.
How to increase priority of PTMISEA projects Begin your projects on time, within 6
months of allocation! Expend your funds!
◦ What have you spent from your previous allocations?
Complete projects!
Appropriations are at one level – fund distribution is at another
Smaller bond sales require prioritizing funds How do we use the reduced funds?
◦ Priority by project?
