S

outhern California’s highway and arterial system extends for 12,630 miles 

and serves 62 million trips each day. This roadway system is the backbone of 

the region’s economic well-being, and facilitates the movement of people and 

goods via multiple modes of transportation, including public transit, and active 

transportation. According to the Southern California Association of Governments’ (SCAG) 

Regional Travel Demand Model (RTDM), nine out of every ten trips relies either entirely or 

in part on the highway and arterial system.

Despite the importance of the system, improvements have not kept pace with the region’s 

increasing population and transportation demand. As a result, the region’s traffic congestion has increased dramatically, leading to a less productive transportation system with 

negative consequences such as wasted time and fuel and poor air quality.

The highway and arterial investments included in the 2012 Regional Transportation Plan 

(RTP) attempt to address these challenges by following the integrated approach depicted 

in Figure 1, which calls for the region to first take care of and optimize the existing 

system before investing in costlier capital expansion projects. The successful preservation and management of the highway and arterial system are crucial to maintaining the 

region’s economic vitality and quality of life. At the same time, there are critical gaps 

in the network that hinder access to certain parts of the region. The Plan proposes the 

closure of these gaps to complete the system, allowing the region’s residents to enjoy 

improved access to opportunities, such as jobs, education, healthcare, and recreation.

This technical appendix consolidates and summarizes highway and arterial related RTP 

investments, including project commitments identified by the local implementing agencies, as well as system preservation and operations investments. Additionally, this appendix consolidates and summarizes the highway and arterial related performance results 

from SCAG’s regional travel demand model.

Programmed Commitments

As the short-range element of the Plan, SCAG’s Federal Transportation Improvement 

Program (FTIP) contains a significant number of highway and arterial improvement projects that local transportation agencies will implement in the near- and mid-term. These 

projects close critical gaps in the system, relieve significant bottlenecks, and address 

inter-county travel needs, and include High-Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lanes and connectors, mixed-flow (or general purpose) lanes, High-Occupancy Toll (HOT) lanes, and 

strategic arterial improvements.

A sample of major projects in the FTIP is shown in Table 1. A complete project list can be 

found in the RTP’s Project List Appendix.

System Preservation

Aging Infrastructure

Over the decades, the region has invested hundreds of billions of dollars in developing 

and expanding a multi-modal transportation system. As shown in Figures 2, 3, and 4, 

a significant amount of roadways and bridges have fallen into an unacceptable state 

of disrepair.

As shown in Figure 6, deferred maintenance leads to much costlier repairs in the future. 

While minor repairs to keep roadways in a state of good repair cost between $21,000 and 

$64,500 per lane mile, the major rehabilitation of a lane mile can cost anywhere from 

$550,000 to $6 million.

As deferring maintenance will only increase this shortfall over time, preserving the 

region’s assets now is a critical priority of the 2012 RTP. The RTP commits $216.9 billion (including $70 billion of new, reasonably available revenue) to system preservation 

to help achieve a state of good repair. As more funding becomes available, additional 

commitments may be made. These additional investments will ensure that over the next 

25 years, the region’s transportation infrastructure will be in a better condition than it is 

today. This will also lower user costs in the future, such as vehicle maintenance costs.

SCAG will continue to work with its stakeholders, particularly the CTCs and Caltrans, to 

prioritize funding for preservation and maintenance.

Corridor System Management Plans

As discussed in the preceding section, the RTP identifies a comprehensive set of strategies that work in concert to optimize the performance of the transportation system. This 

set of strategies does not focus solely on expanding the system, but also considers how 

we operate the system; how we coordinate land use planning with transportation planning; how we deal with incidents such as accidents or special events; how we provide 

information to the traveling public so they can make informed decisions about how, 

where, and when to travel; and how we maintain the system. All of these strategies are 

based on a foundation of comprehensive system monitoring so that we can understand 

how the transportation system is performing and where we need improvement. This 

approach is based in part on work that Caltrans has done for many years to optimize the 

performance of the state highway system.

With the passage of Proposition 1B by California voters in November 2006, a program of 

funding called the Corridor Mobility Improvement Account (CMIA) was created to improve 

the state highway system. The California Transportation Commission adopted guidelines 

for the CMIA program that required the development of Corridor System Management 

Plans (CSMPs) for those projects receiving CMIA funding, to ensure that mobility improvements would be maintained over time. The CSMPs developed in the SCAG region are 

identified in Table 4 and Exhibit 5. SCAG contributed funding towards the I-405 CSMP 

in Los Angeles County, as well as towards the I-210 CSMP undertaken as part of the 

Governor’s Go California initiative.

The intention of the CSMP effort is to continually monitor system performance and 

identify system improvements that are lower-cost, relatively quick to implement, and less 

capital-intensive than major corridor widening and expansion projects. In this manner, 

the CSMPs provide a framework for long-term corridor management, with a focus on 

operational improvements.

Notes: The I-210 CSMP was developed as part of the Go California initiative, not as part of the CMIA requirements. The US-101 CSMP was a joint effort between Caltrans District 5 in Santa Barbara County and 

District 7 which includes Los Angeles and Ventura Counties.

The CSMP development efforts began with a comprehensive assessment of corridor 

performance and the identification of congestion points called bottlenecks. This information was shared and verified with the stakeholders along the corridors. To address the 

bottlenecks, operational and minor capacity improvement projects were developed with 

input from stakeholders. These proposed improvements were analyzed using microsimulation models that were created specifically for the corridors. The potential improvements include ramp metering, auxiliary lanes, ramp and interchange improvements, and 

incident management.

The results from these analyses, including recommended projects and assessment of 

project costs and benefits, are included in the corridor-level final reports provided at 

Caltrans’ web page: www.dot.ca.gov/hq/tpp/corridor-mobility/ index.html. The CSMP 

recommendations for new investments (above and beyond any current commitments 

identified in the FTIP or countywide long range plans) total approximately $840 million 

and are proposed for inclusion in the 2012 RTP.

In addition to the improvements proposed in the CSMPs, the RTP includes $7.6 billion for 

Transportation System Management improvements, including extensive advanced ramp 

metering, enhanced incident management, bottleneck removal to improve flow (e.g. auxiliary lanes), the expansion of the integration of our traffic signal synchronization network, 

and data collection to monitor system performance. The efficiencies generated by these 

improvements are expected to increase available freeway capacity by 5 percent.

Express/High-Occupancy Toll (HOT) Lane Network

Despite concerted effort to reduce traffic congestion through years of infrastructure 

investment, the region’s system demands continue to exceed available capacity during 

peak periods. Consistent with the regional emphasis on the mobility pyramid (Figure 1), 

recent planning efforts have focused on enhanced system management including 

integration of pricing to better utilize existing capacity and to offer users greater travel 

time reliability and more travel choices. Express Lanes that are appropriately priced to 

reflect demand can outperform non-priced lanes in terms of throughput, especially during 

congested periods. Moreover, revenue generated from priced lanes can be used to deliver 

Express Lanes sooner and to support complementary transit investments.

Based on recent analysis of critical corridors performed for the CSMPs, inter-county trips 

comprise more than 50 percent—suggesting the value of a regional network of Express 

Lanes that would seamlessly connect multiple counties. As such, the 2012 RTP includes 

a regional Express Lane network that would build upon the success of the 91 Express 

Lanes in Orange County and two demonstration projects in Los Angeles County planned 

for operation in late 2012.

Additional efforts underway include the extension of the 91 Express Lanes to I-15 in 

Riverside County along with planned Express Lanes on the I-15. Also, traffic and revenue 

studies are proceeding for I-10 and I-15 in San Bernardino County.

Arterials

The region’s local streets and roads (Exhibit 7) account for over 80 percent of the total 

road network and carry nearly half of all total traffic. They serve different purposes in 

different parts of the region, often in different parts of the same city. Many streets serve 

as major thoroughfares or as alternate parallel routes to congested freeways. At the same 

time, an urban street right-of-way can account for as much as 40 percent of the total 

land area; streets shape the neighborhoods they pass through and often support different modes of transportation besides the automobile, including bicycles, pedestrians, and 

transit. Table 6 shows the amounts invested by this RTP in each county.

The RTP contains a host of arterial projects and improvements to achieve different 

purposes in different areas. In fast-growing suburban and exurban parts of the region, 

the RTP includes roadway capacity improvements to keep pace with new developments. 

In all parts of the region, the RTP includes operational and technological improvements to 

maximize system productivity in a more cost-effective way than simply adding capacity. 

Such strategic improvements include spot widening, signal prioritization, driveway consolidation and relocation, and grade separations at high-volume intersections. Finally, in a 

quickly growing number of areas, street improvement projects include new bicycle lanes 

and other design features such as lighting, landscaping, and modified roadway, parking, 

and sidewalk widths that work in concert to achieve both functional mobility for multiple 

modes of transportation, and a great sense of place.

Performance Results

The RTP/SCS performance results for mobility are included in this report. A more complete discussion of all performance results for the RTP/SCS is contained in Chapter 5 of 

the main document and in the Performance Measures technical appendix.

The mobility performance measure relies on the commonly used measure of delay. Delay 

is the difference between the actual travel time and the travel time at some pre-defined 

reference or “optimal” speed for each mode alternative under analysis. It is measured in 

vehicle-hours of delay (VHD), which can then be used to derive person hours of delay. 

The mobility measures used for this outcome are:

 Person Movement Delay by Facility Type (Mixed Flow, HOV, Arterials),

 Person Delay per Capita, and

 Truck delay by facility (Highway, Arterial).

One additional measure for delay that is readily available for on-going monitoring, but that 

cannot be readily forecast, is non-recurrent delay. Recurrent congestion is the day-today congestion that occurs because too many vehicles are on the road at the same time. 

Non-recurrent congestion is the congestion that is caused by accidents, weather, special 

events, or other atypical incidents.

Non-recurrent congestion can be mitigated or reduced by improving incident management 

strategies. Other smart uses of technologies such as traffic signal coordination and the 

provision of real-time information about unexpected delays allows travelers to make 

better decisions about available transit or other alternatives.

Person Delay by Facility Type 

(Mixed Flow Freeways, HOV, Arterials)

For the 2012–2035 RTP/SCS, this measure has been expanded to differentiate between 

single-occupancy vehicle (SOV) and high occupancy vehicle (HOV) delay. As shown in 

Figure 10, person-hours of delay is expected to increase from Base Year to Baseline, but 

overall the Plan will improve on Baseline conditions by 45 percent, to conditions that are 

better than what is experienced today.

Person Delay per Capita

Figure 11 shows the person-hours of delay per capita for each of the six counties in the 

region and for the SCAG region as a whole. Normalizing delay by the number of people 

living in an area provides insight as to how well the region is mitigating traffic congestion 

in light of increasing population growth. Delay per capita is expected to grow considerably, particularly in the Inland Empire counties of Riverside and San Bernardino, under 

the Baseline conditions. However, implementation of the Plan is expected to reduce delay 

substantially, to below 2008 levels. The regional average delay per capita is expected 

to improve from over 20 minutes under the Baseline, to over 10 minutes under the Plan. 

Not only does this represent a 45 percent improvement over Baseline, but a 24 percent 

improvement over Base Year as well.

percent over Baseline on the freeway system, and by approximately 55 percent on the 

arterial system.

Non-Recurrent Delay

Data from the Caltrans Performance Measurement System (PeMS) was used to assess 

the level of non-recurrent delay on regional freeways using the “congestion pie” feature 

of PeMS. This module breaks down congestion into recurrent and non-recurrent congestion, with recurrent congestion being that day-to-day delay that occurs when there are 

simply too many vehicles on the road at the same time. Non-recurrent congestion is 

congestion due to other causes such as accidents, special events, or weather.

The PeMS congestion pie module reports two types of recurrent congestion—“Excess 

Demand” and “Potential Reduction”. Excess demand is the congestion attributed to additional vehicles on the road. Potential reduction also accounts for the “too many vehicles” 

type of congestion, but this congestion can potentially be mitigated by applying optimal 

operational strategies such as ramp metering.

For the 2012–2035 RTP/SCS, the mobility performance measure is non-recurrent 

congestion. This type of congestion also has two major components—“Accidents” and 

“Miscellaneous”. Accident-related congestion is estimated by using the Caltrans Traffic 

Accident Surveillance and Analysis System (TASAS) accident locations and comparing that to congestion levels reported by roadway sensors. If excess congestion beyond 

normal is reported at a location where TASAS reports that an accident occurred, then 

that extra congestion is put in the accident-related congestion bucket. If congestion being 

reported by a sensor is above normal and there was no accident report, then that congestion falls into the miscellaneous bucket.

The most recent PeMS congestion classification data is for the year 2009. figure 13

shows the percentage of freeway congestion during a typical day (5:00 AM through 

8:00 PM) for the year 2009. The data is reported for each county and for the region 

as a whole. In 2009, the estimated average percentage of congestion that was due to 

accidents or other incidents was around 45 percent. In San Bernardino County—with 

less congestion overall and more susceptible to incident-causing congestion—the data 

suggested that a majority of congestion was non-recurrent. (The actual percentage is 

likely exaggerated due to the manner in which PeMS handles some data; more research 

is needed to verify this assessment.) In the more urbanized Los Angeles County, the data 

reported that 40 percent of countywide congestion was non-recurrent.
