2 CALTRANS

3 General Role and Authority Caltrans : Covered under various California statutes Authorities covered primarily under the Streets and Highways Code of California. ‘Owner/operator’ of state/ interstate highway system. Caltrans has ultimate jurisdictional responsibility for operating and maintaining the state/interstate routes. California Highway Patrol (CHP) has responsibility and authority for safe travel along state/interstate highways.  As the State level law enforcement body, CHP is also responsible for security on state routes and facilities.

4 Overview:  Encompasses the nine (9) Bay Area counties: Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, Napa, San Francisco, San Mateo, Solano, Sonoma, and Santa Clara  3,200 employees with an annual operating budget of $490 M  7,600 lane miles of highways, including 420 miles of carpool lanes  Seven toll bridges: Antioch, Benicia, Carquinez, Richmond-San Rafael, San Mateo- Hayward, San Francisco-Oakland and Dumbarton San Francisco Bay Area: Population: 7.4 million Area: 8,757 sq miles (22,681 sq. km) Caltrans - District 4 San Francisco Bay Area

5 TOLL BRIDGES BENICIA MARTINEZ BRIDGE ANTIOCH BRIDGE CARQUINEZ BRIDGE RICHMOND SAN RAFAEL BRIDGE SAN FRANCISCO – OAKLAND BAY BRIDGE SAN MATEO – HAYWARD BRIDGE DUMBARTON BRIDGE SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA

6 STRATEGIC RECOVERY PRIORITIES – Start at Lifelines and Critical Facilities. 1.Traffic Management Maintenance & Traffic Operations 2.Route Recovery To Previous Capacity Planning & Programming Design Construction INFRASTRUCTURE INTERDEPENDENCY BASED ON PRIORITIES DURING RECOVERY

7 District 4- LIFELINE Routes

8 District 4 - CRITICAL Facilities 1. San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge and approach structures 2. Carquinez Bridges 3. Caldecott Tunnels 4. Presidio Viaduct (Golden Gate Bridge operate) 5. San Mateo-Hayward Bridge 6. Richmond-San Rafael Bridge 7. Martinez-Benicia Bridge 8. Dumbarton Bridge 9. Posey and Webster Tubes 10. Waldo Tunnels 11. Crystal Springs Bridge 12. MacArthur Tunnel 13. Highway 92/280 Tunnel 14. Interstate 280/680 and US 101 Distribution Structure 15. Interstate 80/580/880 - Distribution Structure 16. Interstate 580/980 and Route 24 - Distribution Structure 17. Interstate 680 and Route 24 - Distribution Structure 18. Antioch Bridge

9 CALTRANS CORE FUNCTIONS & KEY INTERDEPENDENCIES PLANNING & PROGRAMMING IT Power, Water, Sewer CONSTRUCTION Fuels Communications Contractors & Suppliers MAINTENANCE Fuels Communications Suppliers OPERATIONS IT Communications Power, Water, Sewer DESIGN IT Power, Water, Sewer Recovery Starts Here ! $

10 EXAMPLES OF ADDRESSING CHALLENGES: State Bulk fuel contracts with flexibility by contract providers to deliver fuel on site. Alternate emergency power systems capability at key facilities Onsite generators Ability to ‘hook-up’ portable generator units Operational Redundancy of Transportation Management Centers (TMC). Other Districts are structured to handle Programming, Planning and Design functions if required. Multiple communications systems for operational communications Satellite (video/teleconference capabilities) Microwave 800 MHZ system with extensive redundancy INTERDEPENDENCY CHALLENGES

11 Built in 1996 and operational 24/7 Jointly staffed by Caltrans, CHP, and MTC/511 Aggressively monitors and rapidly deploys available traffic management and motorist information services. Enhances communication among stakeholders. Minimizes traffic congestion due to incidents, planned highway work, and major special events. Transportation Management Center (TMC)

12 CONTINUING CHALLENGES: Further coordination with contractors, suppliers, and essential service providers on planning strategies to mitigate and/or address their interdependencies. Expanding IT redundancy Minimal funding beyond operational needs. INTERDEPENDENCY CHALLENGES STRATEGIES TO ADDRESS CHALLENGES: Working partnerships with the business community, exploring interdependencies, in order to arrive at ‘best practices’ to mitigate and/or address their interdependencies Legislation recognizing need for funding for redundancy of operational capabilities and for mitigation of infrastructure interdependencies.
