Caltrans District 5
District Director
Timothy Gubbins
Provide a safe, sustainable, integrated and
efficient transportation system to enhance
California’s economy and livability.
FALL 2016
CTP 2040
The California Transportation Plan 2040
provides a framework for transportation to
help meet the state’s climate goals by
promoting livable communities, economic
growth, greenhouse gas emission reduction,
and a fix-it-first approach for highways, roads
and bridges. It features the following six
major goals for a whole system approach:
� Improve multimodal mobility and
accessibility for all people
� Preserve the multimodal
transportation system
� Support a vibrant economy
� Improve public safety and security
� Foster livable and healthy
communities and promote social
equity
� Practice environmental
stewardship

US 101 Linden/Casitas
interchanges Caltrans recently joined its local partners to
celebrate the groundbreaking of the US 101
Linden/Casitas interchanges project in Santa
Barbara County. Caltrans Director Malcolm
Dougherty noted the project will improve
traffic flow and reduce congestion on this
busy corridor.
The $60 million project will reconstruct and
widen the US 101 overcrossings at Linden
Avenue and Casitas Pass Road, install a new
landscaped median, sidewalks and bicycle
paths, and extend the adjacent frontage
road—connecting the community to local
streets for in-town trips.
The Carpinteria Creek overcrossing will be
widened to accommodate the highway’s
future widening in this area. Security Paving
Company of Sylmar, Calif. is the contractor
for the project scheduled for completion in
2020.
Origin-Destination Survey
Studying travel behaviors of regional and
interregional trips on US 101 in and between
Ventura, Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo
counties is the primary goal of the recently
completed 2016 Central Coast Origin-
Destination Survey. The survey collected
travel data to help calibrate Santa Barbara
County Association of Governments’
(SBCAG) regional travel demand model and
support planning efforts to improve regional
transit and rail services.
Key study findings confirm previous planning
assumptions, including the heavy peak hour
congestion across the Santa Barbara-Ventura
county line and prevailing truck traffic using
US 101 over SR 154. They also show a major
awareness gap regarding some regional
transit services.
SBCAG partnered with the San Luis Obispo
Council of Governments and the Ventura
County Transportation Commission to
conduct the study funded through a Caltrans
Strategic Partnerships transportation
planning grant. More information at: http://www.sbcag.org/uploads/2/4/5/4/24540302/c

District Director’s Report A quarterly publication for our transportation partners
US 101 Santa Maria River Bridges Santa Barbara County
Connecting the community through bicycling and walking
FALL 2016
CTP 2040 continued
The plan builds upon the state’s Interregional
Plan, Freight Plan, Rail Plan, Aviation Plan,
Transit Plan, Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan and
Regional Transportation Plans. It also
includes 15 strategies addressing mode shift,
transportation alternatives, pricing and
operational efficiency.
The state’s first priorities for sustainable
mobility is investing in bicycle/pedestrian
infrastructure and transit. Caltrans aims to
triple bicycling and double walking and transit
use statewide by 2020. This supports the
state’s goal to reduce greenhouse gas
emissions to 1990 levels by 2020, and 80
percent below those levels by 2050.
Caltrans conducted extensive public outreach
statewide for the plan’s development. This
included two public comment periods, focus
groups, public workshops, interactive
website, news releases, social networking and
webinars. Continued collaboration between
Caltrans, local agencies, communities and all
transportation stakeholders is essential to
successfully achieving the state’s high priority
goals. The plan and more information is
available at: http://www.dot.ca.gov/hq/tpp/californiatransporta
tionplan2040/final-draft-ctp2040/index.shtml
Federal Transit Funding
Providing more modern, reliable bus service
nationwide is a top priority for the Federal
Transit Administration’s Bus and Bus Facilities
Grant Program. Sixty-one projects across the
country will receive about $211 million to
replace, rehabilitate and purchase transit
buses and related equipment/facilities. These
include $4.3 million to Caltrans to construct a
new maintenance facility in the Monterey-
Sustainable Grants
A call for projects is under way for the 2017-
2018 Sustainable Transportation Planning
grants. About $7.8 million is available
statewide for the Sustainable Communities
grants, and $1.5 million for Strategic
Partnerships.
These grants promote a balanced,
comprehensive multimodal transportation
system supporting Caltrans’ key objectives of
sustainability, preservation, mobility, safety,
innovation, economy, health and equity.
Applications are due to Caltrans Friday,
November 4, 2016. Applications, guidebook
and more information is available at: http://www.dot.ca.gov/hq/tpp/grants.html
Salinas area, $4 million to the San Luis
Obispo Regional Transit Authority for a new
transit center, $5.7 million to the Santa
Barbara Metropolitan Transit District to
purchase new buses, and $3.7 million to
Monterey-Salinas Transit to replace buses
and provide workforce development training.

Transit Plans Coordinate
City/Regional Services
The San Luis Obispo Regional Transit
Authority (RTA) and the City of San Luis
Obispo recently released their jointly
developed 2016 Short Range Transit Plans.
Both plans provide operational, capital,
institutional and implementation guidelines
for the agencies to better coordinate their
services. Caltrans funded the five-year plans
with a Transit Planning for Sustainable
Communities grant.
Critical Rural Freight
Corridors
California is the nation’s largest gateway for
international trade and domestic commerce
with an interconnected system of ports,
railroads, highways and roads facilitating
freight movement nationwide. The system
supports one-third of the state’s economic
product and jobs. In 2014, freight-dependent
industries provided more than $740 billion in
gross domestic product and more than five
million jobs.
US 101 and Highways 46 and 156 are integral
to this system. Caltrans is recommending
their designation as critical rural freight
corridors within the Interim National
Multimodal Freight Network. Working in
partnership with local agencies, Caltrans
recently submitted this recommendation,
among others, to the U.S. Department of
Transportation for consideration.
Countywide, 77 percent of residents live
within one-half mile of a public transit route,
contributing to more than one million riders
annually. In fact, RTA ridership increased 270
percent in 2013 from the previous decade and
the city’s, 64 percent.
To meet future travel demand, both plans
recommend enhancing, modifying and
expanding daily transit services—including
evening runs—as well as purchasing new
buses, improving bus stops and
operations/maintenance facilities and
providing a new downtown transit center.
