Interregional Transportation Strategic Plan Objective 1 – Complete a Trunk System • 10 Routes and Route Portions for Focused IIP Investments • Meet Current and Future Population Needs • Major Underdeveloped North – South and East – West Routes • Focus Routes plus Interstate System Ensures Strong Transportation System
Interregional Transportation Strategic Plan Focus Routes and Goods Movement Benefits Major North – South Routes for Goods Distribution and Transfer • STAA (Big Trucks) and Terminal Access Routes • 5 Axle Truck VMT - Interstates 57% - Focus Routes 26% • Principal East – West Access Over Coast Range and Connections from I-15/40 into Central Valley Peak Agricultural Season, Timber, Mining
Interregional Transportation Strategic Plan Objective 2 - Connect All Urbanized Areas to F&E 55 Urbanized areas in CA Those Designated Urbanized in Last 30 Years • 13 on Interstates • 24 on Focus Routes • 9 on Focus Routes and Interstates • 9 Within Proximity of Focus and Interstates
Interregional Transportation Strategic Plan Objective 3 –Dependable Movement Into Major Gateways & Connectivity to Key Intermodal Transfer Facilities • Bay Area, Southern CA, Mexico, Grapevine and Central Valley • International Airports, Air Cargo Terminals, Seaports, Freight Distribution Facilities • Goods Movement - STAA Routes and Truck Terminal Access
Interregional Transportation Strategic Plan Objective 4 – Connect Urbanizing and High Growth Centers to Trunk Anticipate New Centers to Follow Historical Trends • 2000 Census added 10 New Urbanized Areas - Six on Focus Routes - Three on Interstates - One in Proximity to Focus • 2040 Population Added to SR 99 Co’s – 5.2 M and US 101 – 3.2 M • Importance of Focus Routes Development - 13 Urbanized Areas on SR 99 - 13 on US 101 from Ventura Co.

Grandfathered) - $1.3 RIP
Interregional Transportation Strategic Plan Overall Progress Towards Meeting Objectives • Comprehensive Interregional Improvements • Interstates, IRRS Routes, Other Routes, Intercity Passenger Rail, Grade Separations, Multi-modal IIP $’s Programmed ’98 – ’02 STIPs
Interregional Transportation Strategic Plan Strategy for Continued Improvement of Interregional Mobility • Stay Focused on Completing Trunk System • Participate with Regions in Optimization of Interstates for Selected Projects • Selected non-Trunk and Interstate IRRS Improvements • Rural Partnerships • RIP $’s On System
