The California Transportation Commission during an unspecified meeting took a series of unanimous actions across policy, project environmental review and multiple funding allocations.

Key votes and outcomes (motions passed unanimously unless noted):

- CEQA guidance (SB 743) comment letter: Under agenda item 18 the commission directed staff to transmit a comment letter to the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research recommending continued collaboration with regional transportation agencies on the preliminary discussion draft of CEQA guidelines implementing SB 743. Motion moved by Vice Chair Dunne and seconded by Commissioner Tablioni; the motion passed unanimously.

- Road Usage Charge Technical Advisory Committee appointments (SB 1077): The commission approved staff’s recommended appointments to the 15‑member advisory committee with the understanding two seats would be finalized in January. (See separate article for full roster.)

- Willits Bypass baseline/allocations: The commission approved a $64,700,000 supplemental allocation for the Willits Bypass (item 21) after an informational update under item 20 and agreed to form a small commissioner committee to work with Caltrans on project delivery issues. (Separate article covers the debate and tribal comments.)

- South Coast US‑101 HOV lanes (Santa Barbara County): Under item 22 the commission accepted the final EIR, the related statement of overriding considerations for significant unavoidable visual impacts, and approved the project for future consideration of funding. Staff noted litigation had been filed against the EIR but said no stay/injunction had been issued at the time of the meeting. Motion moved by Commissioner Fromer and seconded by Commissioner Assemi.

- Active Transportation Program (SANDAG): Item 60 — the commission adopted the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) MPO component of the 2014 Active Transportation Program (ATP), allocating $13,410,000 to active‑transportation projects as submitted by SANDAG; the action completed adoption of the 2014 ATP statewide program.

- ATP technical adjustments: Item 61 approved technical adjustments to programming for eight counties under the 2014 ATP as described in the replacement pink book item; staff had authority under the adopted resolutions to make technical changes with substantive items returned to the commission.

- Trade Corridors Improvement Fund (TCIF) amendment: Item 62 amended two projects into the TCIF program (Southern California Rail Authority and Route 99 in San Joaquin County); staff recommended approval.

- Baseline agreement and STIP/STIP allocations: Items 63, 66, 67 and 69 included baseline agreements and State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) allocations for state‑administered and locally administered projects; staff recommended approval and the commission approved the items.

- Multiple financial allocations and programmatic awards: The commission approved monthly SHOPP allocations (item 65), an allocation for an emergency coastal repair project on Pacific Coast Highway that increased from the programmed amount to roughly $6.65 million (item 70), a $108 million allocation from the Prop 1B Intercity Rail program for additional railcars and onboard systems (item 73), and other aeronautics, rail and bridge program allocations cited in items 71–79 as presented by staff.

- Time extensions and administrative items: Items 78–80 and several STIP and ATP administrative adjustments and time‑extension requests were approved as noted in the agenda and staff pink sheets; one STIP amendment (item 68) had been withdrawn by the agency.

Where available, meeting presenters identified movers and seconders for motions; the transcript records the motions and that nearly all recorded actions passed with unanimous voice votes. Detailed outcome and implementation notes for items that involve multi‑year programs or subsequent allocations (for example, Willits Bypass supplemental mitigation, TCIF projects, and projects associated with the ATP) will require follow‑up reports and refined budget numbers, which staff indicated they will bring back to the commission as required.

Ending: The commission closed the meeting after other matters and public comment and recessed pending future agenda items and the January meeting for outstanding appointments and follow‑up items.
