3)Requires, by October 15th of each odd-numbered year, Caltrans
submit to CTC the draft five-year interregional transportation
improvement program (ITIP) consisting of all of the following:
a) Projects to improve state highways;
b) Projects to improve the intercity passenger rail system;
and,
c) Projects to improve interregional movement of people,
vehicles, and goods.
4)Requires regional transportation planning agencies (RTPAs) and
county transportation commissions to adopt and submit to CTC
by December 15th of each odd-numbered year a five-year
regional transportation improvement program (RTIP). The RTIP
includes all projects to be funded in whole or in part with
the state transportation funds allocated to each county.
5)Requires CTC to adopt and submit to the Governor and the
Legislature by April 1st of each even-numbered year the State

expected to receive an allocation of state transportation
funds during the following five fiscal years.

COMMENTS: Every two years, Caltrans prepares a fund estimate
that identifies all the federal and state funds that are
reasonably expected to be available for programming. The fund
estimate, in turn, informs the department's ITIP, the regions'
RTIP, and ultimately the STIP. These programming documents set
forth the state's commitment for transportation infrastructure
investments during the ensuing five years.
This bill is consistent with past practices and will ensure that
future fund estimates developed by Caltrans and adopted by the
CTC incorporate funding allocations enacted under the recent
federal FAST Act.
