Caltrans’ Transportation system management & operations

1. Caltrans’ Transportation system management & operations Creating sustainable transportation system performance & reliability Kris Kuhl Assistant Division Chief, Division of Traffic Operations CTP 2040 PAC

2. Transportation System Management & Operations • 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

3. 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.

Optimized TSM&O managers at same level and staff professionalized Workforce & Collaboration 2. Managed – Objectives Aligned with Key Entities 4. Optimized - High level of TSM&O coordination among owner-operators (state, local)

5. 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

6. 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

7. Benefits of ICM – Delay Reduction

9. CALTRANS MISSION AND CTP VISION MISSION 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 resilientmultimodal system supports a prosperous economy, human and environmental health, and social equity.

10. 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

11. 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
