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 2035 -2040 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 2017-18. 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 2040. 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?
