TRANSPORTATION AGENCY FOR MONTEREY COUNTY *Memorandum*

To:	Technical Advisory Committee
From:	Michael Zeller, Director of Programming & Project Delivery
Meeting Date:	October 1, 2020
Subject:	Caltrans D5 SHOPP Project Viewer

RECOMMENDED ACTION:
RECEIVE presentation from Caltrans District 5 on the State Highway Operation and Protection Program (SHOPP) Project Viewer.

SUMMARY:
Caltrans District 5 has developed a public-facing web map which provides the access to the most current District 5 SHOPP project information. This web map is interactive and has multiple functions which will allow the user to access detailed information about projects in specific locations or regions.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

There are more than $48 billion worth of projects included in the State Highway Operation and Protection Program. The Program is supported by state and federal taxes and fees on vehicle fuels. Over one third of the funds – $18 billion – will come from Senate Bill 1 gas taxes and vehicle license fees. The share of projects in Monterey County over the 5 year life of the program is $278.5 million.

DISCUSSION:

Caltrans is responsible for maintaining and operating approximately 50,000 lane-miles of the state highway system, the backbone of California’s transportation infrastructure. This responsibility includes monitoring the condition and operational performance of the highways through periodic inspections, traffic studies, and systems analyses.

State law requires the development of a state highway system needs assessment that uses performance targets to estimate current needs. Performance measures and targets are used to track progress and guide state and local agencies towards short, medium, and long-term objectives. The Ten-Year Project Book shows how Caltrans will utilize such asset management practices to ensure that Caltrans and its partners make the best use of resources by balancing competing needs for infrastructure preservation and improvement.

The Ten-Year Project Book provides a list of the individual projects recommended to restore the State Highway System to a condition that meets the performance targets listed in law within the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017 (Senate Bill 1). The SHOPP Project Book is an extension of the recently adopted California Transportation Asset Management Plan, which prioritizes projects based on their contribution to the overall health of the State Highway System.

Caltrans has developed a public-facing State Highway Operations and Protection Program Project Viewer, which provides the latest SHOPP Project Book data in a web map format. The web viewer can be found at the following link:

Caltrans District 5 staff will present a demonstration of the web viewer to the Committee at the October meeting.
