EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Caltrans’ mission is to provide a safe, sustainable, integrated and efficient transportation system to enhance California’s economy and livability. Transportation Concept Reports (TCRs) play an active role in achieving this mission to serve the traveling public. The TCR is primarily a technical document that: (1) identifies trends and deficiencies within a transportation corridor, and (2) provides a basis for considering future actions to preserve the integrity of the corridor over the long‐term. This information is valuable to Caltrans and its local and regional partners as they consider needs and priorities for future investments.

ROUTE DESCRIPTION State Route (SR) 33 is a conventional highway facility of 13 miles in length within District 5, located in a rural agricultural zoned area in Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo counties. SR 33 crosses various Caltrans Districts. SR 33 begins at US 101 near the City of Ventura in District 7 until the route reaches the Santa Barbara/Ventura County line and into District 5. SR 33 travels north through the flat and rolling terrain for 8 miles. The route continues north entering San Luis Obispo County for 3 miles until it intersects into the SR 166. It continues eastward for 2 miles, meeting the San Luis Obispo/Kern County line into District 6. From District 6 the route continues north until it eventually terminates near Vernalis, California in District 10. The route has been divided into three sub‐segments for this TCR. The route provides the only access to the small rural unincorporated community of Ventucopa within Santa Barbara County. The route also serves as main access to predominant agricultural use. The route is surrounded by the Los Padres National Forest and the Cuyama River to the west. The primary purpose of SR 33 within District 5 is to serve local and recreational traffic to the Los Padres National Forest. SR 33 serves Los Padres National Forest providing direct access for outdoor recreational enthusiasts.

ROUTE DESCRIPTION
Route Location and Characteristics:
SR 33 within District 5 is a rural conventional highway that stretches approximately 13 miles in length located in the counties of Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo. SR 33 begins at the Santa Barbara/Ventura County line and travels north for 8 miles. The route continues north entering San Luis Obispo County for 3 miles until it intersects SR 166 and continues eastward for 2 miles until the San Luis Obispo/Kern County line before continuing on into District 6.
Route Purpose:
The main purpose of SR 33 within the District is to accommodate regional and interregional traffic, which includes agricultural trucking and moving agricultural equipment from one farm site to another. SR 33 serves as access to the Los Padres National Forest as well as the small rural community of Ventucopa, which according to the United States Census, is counted with the population total of Santa Barbara County.
Route Designations:
The designations provide information regarding the facility itself and its intended use and also indicate the availability of special purpose funding related to the designation. The functional classification of SR 33 is a Rural Minor Arterial. This classification recognizes the need to link cities and larger towns with a system network capable of providing trips of relatively long lengths (Figure 2). Table 5 provides the route designations and characteristics for the Segment of SR 33.
Major Route Features:
SR 33 provides access to the Los Padres National Forest. SR 33 provides rural views of farmlands, orchards and open space leading to the very rural setting of the route’s corridor in the community of Ventucopa.
The corridor passes through farmlands within rural Santa Barbara County and San Luis Obispo County in District 5. Any new project(s) proposed in the Route 33 corridor will be evaluated for their potential project‐related impacts to biological resources in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) requirements. In addition to the natural landscape, large portions of the land along the route are utilized for agriculture.

LAND USE The existing land use along SR 33 is predominately agricultural with the exception of the unincorporated rural community of Ventucopa in the upper Cuyama Valley. Per the Santa Barbara County Zoning and Land Use map, existing land uses classified as agricultural shall remain unless changed by a county General Plan amendment. Per the Santa Barbara County Important Farmland 2012, the agricultural land use areas are predominantly defined as prime farmland and farmland of statewide importance. These categories identify quality soil having the ability to produce sustained high yields of crops. The Santa Barbara County Land Use Element of the General Plan indicates the potential for implementation of a utility‐scale solar photovoltaic facility located in the rural area of Cuyama Valley rural region. The County of Santa Barbara Planning and Development Energy Division website indicates that a proposed solar project which received Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisor approval known as the Cuyama Solar Array Project. The project would be located on approximately 330 acres of land southeast of the town of Cuyama along SR 166 west of SR 33. According to the Santa Barbara County Long Range Planning Division, there are no anticipated major growth traffic generators planned along the SR 33 that would be associated with continued agricultural use. Land uses currently in operation are expected to continue. The visual characteristics and existing land uses within the SR 33 corridor are natural rolling hills, farmland, and some sparse low density residential housing.
Community Characteristics:
The 2011 Santa Barbara County General Plan describes the rural community of Ventucopa in the upper Cuyama Valley as being a predominant agriculture industry for the community. The closest neighboring rural communities include Cuyama and New Cuyama located northwest along SR 166 which also has a primary land use in agriculture. Los Padres National Forest surrounds SR 33 with the Cuyama River located to the west.
Page | 10
PEDESTRIAN FACILITY
SR 33 route in District 5 does not restrict pedestrians from using the highway. Currently, the existing land uses are mainly farmland with some sparse low density residential housing. Without any separated pedestrian facilities within the small rural community, pedestrians rely on the shoulder areas of the route for walking to the local restaurant/store. There are no proposed major developments of residential or commercial uses planned along SR 33. SR 33 traverses through the community creating two sides east and west.

BICYCLE FACILITY
Currently, bicyclists ride along SR 33. Shoulder width is approximately 0‐4 feet and there are no parallel bike facilities to the route. The SBCAG 2015 Regional Active Transportation Plan and the San Luis Obispo County 2015/16 Bikeways Plan do not indicate any planned bike routes along SR 33. A social network for recreational bicyclists known as Strava is a free online platform that can be used by participants to record their personal bicycle activity using a compatible GPS device to upload activity to analyze and compare data. As frequency of use increases on a specific route or trail increases, the Strava Heat Map intensity alters from blue indicating lower usage to a bold red color of a thicker line weight for increased participant usage. The Strava Heat Map can be accessed by the following link: http://svgcesridvweb.ct.dot.ca.gov/arcgis/apps/OnePane/basicviewer/index.html?appid=6e38d42e6f924c5dabe91d16c6ce3f1b The predominately agricultural uses along the SR 33 route, with the exception of the unincorporated rural community of Ventucopa in the upper Cuyama Valley, currently do not contain any defined bikeways. Currently, the existing land uses are mainly farmland with some sparse low‐density residential housing. Any local bicyclists residing within Ventucopa or passing through traverse the shoulder areas and travel lanes of the route. There is no anticipated residential or commercial growth planned along SR 33 that would likely influence a connected bicycle lane network throughout Ventucopa, nor is a bicycle facility planned for the near future.

TRANSIT FACILITY
SR 33 is located partially in both Santa Barbara County and San Luis Obispo County. According to public transit information provided by SBCAG and San Luis Obispo Council of Governments (SLOCOG), there is no public transit service provided to the rural community of Ventucopa. Transit options are located primarily near and within the more densely populated centers of the counties’ and the regional transportation plans do not indicate intention for the expansion of services along this route.
FREIGHT SR 33 within District 5 is a rural conventional highway that stretches approximately 13 miles in length located in the counties of Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo. SR 33 begins at the Santa Barbara/Ventura County line and travels north for 8 miles. The route continues north entering San Luis Obispo County for 3 miles until it intersects SR 166 and continues eastward for 2 miles until the San Luis Obispo/Kern County line before continuing on into District 6.
The California Legal Advisory Route continues north entering San Luis Obispo County for 2 miles until it bisects SR 166 and continues eastward as a Terminal Access (STAA) for 5 miles ending at the San Luis Obispo/Kern County line. Mainly agricultural uses are located along the SR 33 corridor. SR 33 serves freight and goods movements needs through the region but is not identified as a Major Freight Facility as defined by the Caltrans 2014 California Freight Mobility Plan. (California Legal Advisory Route)
ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS The agricultural land use areas along SR 33 are predominantly defined as prime farmland and farmland of statewide importance. Prime farmland is located along the entire corridor. These categories identify quality soil having the ability to produce sustained high yields of crops. The Section 4(f) lands are publicly‐owned parks, recreation lands, or wildlife and waterfowl refuges located adjacent to the existing highway. Los Padres National Forest surrounds SR 33. The Cuyama River is located just to the west of the corridor. There are a handful of sections traversing the corridor categorized as 100‐Year flood zones. The SR 33 corridor is unique with large tracts of public land, open space, and agricultural lands occurring near or adjacent to the highway. These lands provide important habitat for many species of wildlife and plants. Identifying important habitat linkages along the highway corridor in long‐range plans provides transportation planners with better baseline information for aligning transportation projects in a regional perspective that will help maintain landscape connectivity for wildlife and plants, reduce habitat fragmentation and promote public safety.
