Commission approves technical adjustments to statewide and small urban/rural ATP components

Commission staff asked the California Transportation Commission on Nov. 12 to approve technical adjustments to the statewide and small urban/rural components of the 2014 Active Transportation Program (ATP). Commissioners voted unanimously to accept staff’s recommendation.

Staff said the statewide and small urban/rural ATP components were adopted at the August 2014 meeting and that the adopted resolution included a clause anticipating further technical changes and corrections. The staff report noted a yellow replacement item listing adjustments identified since adoption and warned there may be additional adjustments at the next meeting as agencies align project schedules.

Laurel Jansen and Lori Waters presented the item; staff recommended approval of the technical adjustments to programming in eight counties. Commissioner Gilmetti moved the motion and Commissioner Fromer seconded; the motion passed unanimously with no public speakers.

The commission’s action authorizes staff to make the enumerated corrections and to return any substantive revisions to the commission for approval. Staff said it will continue to work with Caltrans and regional agencies to finalize details ahead of project implementation.
