- Keep the “About the TCR/Stakeholder Participation” page to a one page maximum.- The example cells of optional and required as applicable datasets have been shaded for reference.- It is suggested to include a table of contents that has hyperlinks to the corresponding sections of the

document, similar to the table of contents found in the TCR Guidelines. For Instructions on creating the hyperlinks in a word and pdf document click here.

- Hidden TextO The TCR Template Instructions that are included in the guidelines are also included in the

template as hidden text for a quick and easy reference. O It is suggested to turn off the hidden text before beginning to type again.O To see the hidden text just click the paragraph button that is indicated below by the red arrow.

STYLE GUIDANCE The style guidelines listed below are mirrored in the TCR Template. These styles are recommended for readability, accessibility, and statewide consistency. If the District has mandated style guidelines they may follow those in lieu of these guidelines.Text Requirements:

- Primary Header: 16 point font, All Caps, Bold, Centered (see “Corridor Overview” in the template)- Secondary Header: 14 point font, Small Caps, Bold, Underlined, Aligned Left (see “Route Description” in

the template)- Tertiary Header: 12 point font, Bold, Aligned Left (see “Route Location” in the template)- Body Text: 11 point font, Justified

Table Requirements:- Districts have the discretion to rearrange and reformat all of the tables to best meet the need of their

document; however, the following standards must be followed.o Header text in table must be black, bold, and at minimum 9 point.o Cell color of header must alternate between two colors.o Gray out cells that are not applicable and cannot be deleted from the data table.o The template tables have all possible datasets; please delete any rows or columns that are not

ABOUT THE TRANSPORTATION CONCEPT REPORT

System Planning is the long-range transportation planning process for the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans). The System Planning process fulfills Caltrans’ statutory responsibility as owner/operator of the State Highway System (SHS) (Gov. Code §65086) by evaluating conditions and proposing enhancements to the SHS. Through System Planning, Caltrans focuses on developing an integrated multimodal transportation system that meets Caltrans’ goals of safety, mobility, delivery, stewardship, and service.

The System Planning process is primarily composed of four parts: the District System Management Plan (DSMP), the Transportation Concept Report (TCR), the Corridor System Management Plan (CSMP), and the DSMP Project List. The district-wide DSMP is strategic policy and planning document that focuses on maintaining, operating, managing, and developing the transportation system. The TCR is a planning document that identifies the existing and future route conditions as well as future needs for each route on the SHS. The CSMP is a complex, multi-jurisdictional planning document that identifies future needs within corridors experiencing or expected to experience high levels of congestion. The CSMP serves as a TCR for segments covered by the CSMP. The DSMP Project List is a list of planned and partially programmed transportation projects used to recommend projects for funding. These System Planning products are also intended as resources for stakeholders, the public, and partner, regional, and local agencies.

STAKEHOLDER PARTICIPATION

Action:This is required. Include a high-level summary of the stakeholder coordination effort.
