- Session Year: 2015-2016
- House: Assembly
- Latest Version Date: 2016-07-22
Existing law requires the Department of Transportation to prepare a state highway operation and protection program for the expenditure of transportation funds for major capital improvements that are necessary to preserve and protect the state highway system and that include capital projects relative to maintenance, safety, and rehabilitation of state highways and bridges that do not add a new traffic lane to the system.
This bill would add to the program capital projects relative to the operation of those state highways and bridges.

This bill would add to the program capital projects relative to the operation of those state highways and bridges.
(a)Based on the asset management plan prepared and approved pursuant to Section 14526.4, the department shall prepare a state highway operation and protection program for the expenditure of transportation funds for major capital improvements that are necessary to preserve and protect the state highway system. Projects included in the program shall be limited to capital improvements relative to the maintenance, safety, operation, and rehabilitation of state highways and bridges that do not add a new traffic lane to the system.
(b)The program shall include projects that are expected to be advertised prior to July 1 of the year following submission of the program, but which have not yet been funded. The program shall include those projects for which construction is to begin within four fiscal years, starting July 1 of the year following the year the program is submitted.
(c)The department, at a minimum, shall specify, for each project in the state highway operation and protection program, the capital and support budget, as well as a projected delivery date, for each of the following project components:
(1)Completion of project approval and environmental documents.
(2)Preparation of plans, specifications, and estimates.
(3)Acquisition of rights-of-way, including, but not limited to, support activities.
(4)Start of construction.
(d)The program shall be submitted to the commission not later than January 31 of each even-numbered year. Prior to submitting the plan, the department shall make a draft of its proposed program available to transportation planning agencies for review and comment and shall include the comments in its submittal to the commission.
(e)The commission may review the program relative to its overall adequacy, consistency with the asset management plan prepared and approved pursuant to Section 14526.4 and funding priorities established in Section 167 of the Streets and Highways Code, the level of annual funding needed to implement the program, and the impact of those expenditures on the state transportation improvement program. The commission shall adopt the program and submit it to the Legislature and the Governor not later than April 1 of each even-numbered year. The commission may decline to adopt the program if the commission determines that the program is not sufficiently consistent with the asset management plan prepared and approved pursuant to Section 14526.4.
(f)Expenditures for these projects shall not be subject to Sections 188 and 188.8 of the Streets and Highways Code.

DIGEST: This bill clarifies that capital improvement projects relative to operations on the state highway system are eligible for inclusion in the State Highway Operation and Protection Program (SHOPP).
Existing law:
- Directs the Department of Transportation (Caltrans) to prepare the SHOPP to guide the expenditure of transportation funds for capital improvements that are necessary to protect the state highway system, as specified. The SHOPP is primarily limited to capital improvement projects related to maintenance, safety, and rehabilitation of state highways and bridges that do not add a new traffic lane to the system.
- Requires Caltrans, in consultation with the California Transportation Commission (CTC), to develop an asset management plan to guide the preparation and selection of projects within SHOPP. Specifies that the asset management plan is to be consistent with any applicable state and federal requirements.
This bill clarifies that capital improvement projects relative to operations on the state highway system are eligible for inclusion in SHOPP.
Comments
- Purpose. According to the author, “AB 2289 puts the ‘O’ in SHOPP. Operational improvements have always been included in the SHOPP. However, as we increasingly look to traffic operation improvements to provide greater efficiencies in the operation of the state highway system, AB 2289 makes it abundantly clear that these operational improvements are to be included in the SHOPP.”
- Existing practice. For nearly 20 years, Caltrans has been statutorily required to prepare the SHOPP to guide investments in state highways and bridges owned by the state. Projects to improve traffic operations, such as ramp meters and changeable message signs, have always been included in the SHOPP. The SHOPP specifically excludes projects that increase the capacity of the state highway system. However, operational improvements that increase capacity by virtue of improving operational efficiencies in the existing system are, and always have been, included in the SHOPP.
- Technical cleanup. AB 2289 is a technical cleanup bill. Despite past practices, statutes governing preparation of the SHOPP do not explicitly include operational improvements in the types of projects to be included in the SHOPP. AB 2289 remedies this inconsistency by specifying that operational improvements are to be included in the SHOPP.

SUMMARY:
This bill clarifies that capital improvement projects relative to operations on the state highway system are eligible for inclusion in the State Highway Operation and Protection Program (SHOPP).
FISCAL EFFECT:
No fiscal impact, as the clarification is consistent with Caltrans' long-standing practice in programming the SHOPP.
COMMENTS:
Background and Purpose. For nearly 20 years, Caltrans has been statutorily required to prepare the SHOPP to guide investments in state highways and bridges owned by the state. Projects to improve traffic operations, such as ramp meters and changeable message signs, have always been included in the SHOPP. While the SHOPP specifically excludes projects that increase the capacity of the state highway system, operational improvements that increase capacity by virtue of improving operational efficiencies in the existing system are, and always have been, included in the SHOPP.
Provisions governing preparation of the SHOPP do not explicitly include operational improvements in the types of projects to be included in the SHOPP. AB 2289 remedies this inconsistency.

SUMMARY: Clarifies that capital improvement projects relative to operations on the state highway system are eligible for inclusion in the State Highway Operation and Protection Program (SHOPP).
EXISTING LAW: Directs the Department of Transportation (Caltrans) to prepare the SHOPP to guide expenditure of transportation funds for major capital improvements that are necessary to protect the state highway system. The SHOPP is specifically limited to capital improvement projects related to maintenance, safety, and rehabilitation of state highways and bridges that do not add a new traffic lane to the system.
FISCAL EFFECT: Unknown, however, any cost should be minimal since the bill codifies existing practice.
COMMENTS: For nearly 20 years, Caltrans has been statutorily required to prepare the SHOPP to guide investments in state highways and bridges owned by the state. Projects to improve traffic operations, such as ramp meters and changeable message signs, have always been included in the SHOPP. The SHOPP specifically excludes projects that increase the capacity of the state highway system. However, operational improvements that increase capacity by virtue of improving operational efficiencies in the existing system are, and always have been, included in the SHOPP.
Oddly, despite past practices, statutes governing preparation of the SHOPP do not explicitly include operational improvements in the types of projects to be included in the SHOPP. AB 2289 remedies this inconsistency by specifically providing that operational improvements are to be included in the SHOPP.
AB 2289 is a technical cleanup bill. It will not have any significant impact in the way the SHOPP has always been developed. However, as the state is increasingly looking to traffic operations improvements to provide greater efficiencies in the operation of the state highway system, AB 2289 makes it abundantly clear that these operational improvements are to be included in the SHOPP.
