Caltrans is responsible for maintaining and operating approximately 50,000 lane miles of the state highway system, the backbone of California’s transportation infrastructure. Their activities include monitoring the condition and operational performance of the highways through periodic inspections, traffic studies, and system analysis. The State Highway Operations and Protection Program (SHOPP) is funded through the State Highway Account supporting the State’s priority for preserving the existing infrastructure.

The projects listed in Attachment 1 are those that are programmed, in progress and funded in the 2020 SHOPP program in Monterey County as of December 31, 2020. These projects are composed of SHOPP Major (greater than $1.25M), Minor (less than $1.25M), and Emergency Programs. Completed projects are not included in the list. Caltrans has also included information on contract acceptance and SB-1 funding as individual columns in Attachment 1. Information on Project Initiation Documents (PIDs) currently under development for the 2022 SHOPP and future Project Initiation Document projects identified in the 10-Year Plan are also included in Attachment 1.

Caltrans is requesting that local jurisdictions review the list of projects in the attached 3-Year Workplan and provide any updates as well as identify any related regionally or locally-funded projects that Caltrans should be aware of. Discussion of proposed scope, funding scenarios, delivery timeframes, potential impacts to the State Highway System, and coordination responsibilities can help determine partnering opportunities and well as determine if the project will require traditional Non-SHOPP Project Initiation Document oversight or can be processed through Caltrans' Permits Office.

As a reminder, for Caltrans to add projects into the Non-SHOPP Project Initiation Document workplan it needs to be in the Regional Transportation Plan (RTP), which the Transportation Agency is in the process of updating, be in Caltrans’s 3-Year Workplan, and have an executed cooperative agreement with Caltrans. For all Non-SHOPP questions please contact Garin Schneider, Advance Planning Manager at (805)-549-3640 or email Garin.Schneider@dot.ca.gov.
