Outline 1. Overview of Bay Area Infrastructure 2. Regional Challenges  Condition of Highway Infrastructure  Constrained Funding & Staff Resources 3. Transportation Management Systems  Field Equipment Performance 4. Future Efforts/TMS Vision 5. Innovative Partnership with Caltrans District 4 2

San Francisco Bay Area Overview  Seven million residents  2 nd most congested region in US.  More than 4.6 million cars  20,000 miles of local streets and roads  1,420 miles of highway  450 miles of carpool lanes  8 toll bridges  28+ transit agencies  Extensive ITS infrastructure 3

SF Bay Area State Highway ITS Infrastructure  2,500 traffic detection stations  140 changeable message signs  390 cameras (traffic monitoring & incident management)  380 ramp metering systems  Regional TMC  Call boxes, Freeway Service Patrol, 511 traveler information  Express Lanes & Integrated Corridor Management 4

Performance: Freeway Sensors • Statewide sensors reliability goal: 70% Suspected Errors • For the past year, only ~50% of sensors installed in the roadway have been functional Card Off (70 %) Ctlr Down ( 22 %) High Value (5 %) Other Errors (3 %) Sept. 2012 Sept. 2011 5

Regional Challenges: Constrained Funding & Staff Resources • “…dealing with preservation shortfalls has an exponential fiscal impact (the less you do today, the more it will cost you tomorrow).” Caltrans Program Review—July 2012. 6

TMS Governance Principles Performance  Define performance targets to optimize operations.  Achieve TMS operational benefits across multiple systems and programs. Decision Making  Adopt a performance management approach.  Streamline TMS decision ‐ making and prioritization.  Ensure accountability and transparency.  Secure a management stake. Resources  Strategically manage the system within the resources available.  Leverage regional contribution to secure funding commitment from state. 11

Shared TMS Vision A regional, integrated Bay Area freeway network that provides a safe and reliable travel experience for the region’s travelers. To achieve this we will:  Actively manage our network infrastructure and assets;  Be responsive to our customers’ need for a consistent travel experience across the region;  Place a high priority on the safety and security needs of our travelers and network infrastructure investments; and  Utilize our fiscal and staff resources in a manner that is effective and fiscally responsible. 12

TMS Needs Assessment Assessment is underway to identify common field equipment issues and resolution strategies:  Copper wire theft  Software repairs  Equipment failure rates  Trend analysis Analysis of the type, frequency and cost of repairs will inform future resource requests 16

Performance: CCTV Cameras  Upgraded 390 CCTV cameras  186 are operational  Communication infrastructure needs investment Communication % of Cameras Reliability Infrastructure ISDN 93% Poor DSL 3% Good Fiber 2% Excellent T ‐ 1 1% Good Wireless 1% Fair 17

Performance: Ramp Metering To be expanded from 380 locations (40% of system) to 500 locations (53% of the system) by 2015 18

Performance: Changeable Message Signs • 140 CMS ‐ 33 with Travel Times • Caltrans calculates the CMS travel times • 511 conducts performance monitoring of CMS travel times • Due to advances in technology, 511 uses GPS probe ‐ based data, provided by INRIX, at lower cost and greater coverage 19
