Like much of the US, California relies upon three scales of planning for transportation project, corridor, and region. Each scale informs the others, leading to the development of state programming of projects, described in corridor and regional plans. Highway 37 in the San Francisco Bay Area is currently the subject of corridor planning by the California Department of Transportation, District 4 (Caltrans). The current C21 project Highway 37 Stewardship Study is the test-case for the California evaluation of C06 A&B (and other TRB) products. It will also inform the development of the corridor plan and model behaviors that Caltrans would like to include in future corridor plans. For example, the stakeholder process developed as the basis for the project could become de rigeur for Caltrans future corridor planning. The project relies upon three inter-dependent processes: a stakeholder process to support scenarios descriptions and negotiated planning outcomes, a regional context description and assessment, and valuation/crediting approach to support scenarios comparison. Each of these project components links to a C06 A&B product (e.g., the regional ecological framework). They are also foundational pieces for the development of a stewardship-oriented corridor plan, the first of its kind in California. |
