The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) manages the SHOPP program that includes monitoring the condition and operational performance of the highways through periodic inspections, traffic studies, and system analysis. This report provides a status report of SHOPP programming and project initiation documents.

Caltrans District 5 is responsible for the SHOPP programming and project initiation documents (PID) under development in Monterey County. As part of this work, 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 includes monitoring the condition and operational performance of the highways through periodic inspections, traffic studies, and system analysis. The SHOPP is funded through the State Highway Account supporting the State’s priority for preserving the existing infrastructure.

The attached Biannual SHOPP Packet includes the following:

• Attachment 1 includes the programmed projects in progress and funded in the 2020 SHOPP program in Monterey County as of December 31, 2021. These projects are comprised of SHOPP Major (greater than $1.25M), Minor (less than $1.25M), and Emergency Programs (note: projects that have completed construction are not included in the list).
• Attachment 1 also includes the 2022 SHOPP PID candidate project list that begins formal project development on July 1, 2022.
• Attachment 2 includes the 2024 SHOPP PID project list that is currently in development.
• Attachment 3 includes future PID projects identified in the 10-Year Plan. 
• Attachment 4 provides the list of Non-SHOPP projects that are captured in the 3-yr workplan. 

Please provide Caltrans any updates as well as identify any new regionally or locally funded projects that Caltrans should be aware. Discussion of proposed scope, funding scenarios, delivery timeframes, potential impacts to the State Highway System, and coordination responsibilities can help determine partnering opportunities as well as determine if the project will require traditional Non-SHOPP PID oversight or can be processed through our Permits Office. In order to be added into the Non-SHOPP PID workplan, a project needs to be included in the TAMC Regional Transportation Plan (RTP), be in Caltrans’s 3-yr workplan, and have an executed cooperative agreement for Caltrans.
