CALIFORNIA TRANSPORTATION PLAN 2040 TECHNICAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE, PART 2 April 25, 2013
Today’s Goals Goal 1: Identify definition and implementation of Surface Transportation GHG Reduction Strategies Goal 2: Discuss fiscally constrained “anticipated” or “reasonably available” revenues contained with RTP/SCS and fiscally unconstrained project gap. How do we apply strategies on a statewide basis without double counting regional strategies? How do we identify additional projects beyond 2035?
Goal 1 GHG Reduction Groups Vehicle Efficiency Low-Carbon Fuels VMT Moderation or Reduction Vehicle/System Operation Construction, Maintenance, Operation, and Administration of Transportation System
Goal 1 VMT Moderation Strategy Clusters Pricing Transportation Alternatives Mode Shift
Goal 1:VMT Moderation Pricing VMT fee Congestion Pricing Cordon Pricing Tolling Carbon-taxes or cap-and-trade programs that raise fuel prices Pay-as-you-drive insurance Parking fees Reduce parking capacity
Goal 1:VMT Moderation Transportation Alternatives Telecommute programs Alternative work schedules Carpool/vanpool programs for both work and non- work trips Car sharing programs
Goal 1:VMT Moderation Mode Shift Expand transit, bike, pedestrian, HSR services Expand rail, air, marine, freight cargo
Goal 2 MTC’s Regional Gas Tax Regional gas tax revenues included in the financially constrained plan represent revenues collected from a regional 10 cent excise tax on gasoline beginning in FY The revenue is base on the Bay Area’s share of the statewide gasoline consumption. SCAG’s VMT Fee Mileage-based user fees would be implemented to replace gas taxes – estimated at about $0.05 per mile starting in 2025 and indexed to maintain purchasing power. This funding source was considered to be reasonably available and are included in the financially constrained plan.
Goal 2 Some of the RTP/SCS’s horizon year is 2035, yet the CTP’s horizon year is This gap has been identified to be addressed in the CSTDM update. Do any TAC members have any suggestions on how they would like their fiscally unconstrained projects included?
Meeting Wrap-Up Questions/Comments Next meeting scheduled for May 23, 2013 Topics: Continue strategies discussion Provide strategies framework to 2 nd PAC meeting Suggestions?
