CALTRANS’ TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM MANAGEMENT & OPERATIONS CTP 2040 PAC 1 Kris Kuhl Assistant Division Chief, Division of Traffic Operations 4/15/2014 CREATING SUSTAINABLE TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM PERFORMANCE & RELIABILITY
Transportation System Management & Operations 2 What is TSM&O? TSM&O Vision How TSM&O relates to Caltrans’ mission and CTP vision The “whole enchilada” - Integrated Corridor Management Congested Corridors to Connected Corridors
Transportation System Management & Operations In partnership with transportation stakeholders, Transportation System Management & Operations (TSM&O) envisions a coordinated, well-maintained and efficiently performing technological infrastructure. TSM&O uses real-time traffic management to improve safety, optimize flow and minimize transportation impacts on the environment, while adhering to statewide standards and consistency with federal rules and regulations. 3

The “Whole Enchilada” – Integrated Corridor Management Caltrans seeks to implement TMS&O on our most congested corridors through Integrated Corridor Management, or ICM. (ICM) Optimizes the use of existing infrastructure assets and leverages unused capacity 5
Integrated Corridor Management ICM is a coordinated system management of freeways, ramps, arterials and other local roadways to provide safe, reliable travel for all users in all modes, using: Fully functioning TMS systems Well-maintained infrastructure Managed/Priced lanes Advanced ramp meter operations Enhanced communication networks Freeway Service Patrol & Incident Management strategies Enhanced traveler information Decision support system Approved concepts of operations with local and regional partners 6
Benefits of ICM – Delay Reduction

CALTRANS MISSION AND CTP VISION Provide a safe, sustainable, integrated and efficient transportation system to enhance California’s economy and livability. California's transportation system is safe, sustainable, and globally competitive. It provides reliable and efficient mobility and accessibility for people, goods, and services while meeting our greenhouse gas emission reduction goals and preserving community character. This integrated, connected, and resilient multimodal system supports a prosperous economy, human and environmental health, and social equity. MISSIONCTP VISION 9
Changing Congested Corridors to Connected Corridors Caltrans will lead ICM implementation in California by targeting the most congested corridors. Connected Corridors: Enables coordination of existing transportation infrastructure and vehicles Delivers improved corridor performance Improves accountability Evolves Caltrans to real-time operations and management Enhances regional, local and private sector partnerships 10
State, Regional and Local Partnerships 11 Connected Corridors Pilot – Overview Caltrans/UC PATH/Regional collaborative effort to select the most suitable corridor Corridor’s Infrastructure readiness Least impacted by planned construction Cities’ relative infrastructure/ technological advancement Significant Congestion Number of Incidents and Events Parallel arterials Top Priority Corridors for Investment – I-110 and I-210 in Los Angeles and the SR-57/SR-91/ I-5 triangle in Orange County
