  7. CTP 2040 Focus Groups Major 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

  8. CTP 2040 Focus Groups • Major 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

  9. CTP 2040 Tribal Listening Sessions • 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

  10. CTP 2040 Tribal Listening Sessions Major 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

  11. CTP 2040 Tribal Listening Sessions Major 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
