CTA Adopts State Transportation Policies

At the March 2012 Executive & Policy Committee Meetings in Sacramento, the Board of Directors for the California Trucking Association approved the staff recommended State Transportation Policy Guideline.

The Guideline serves not only as CTA official policy, but also as a building block in order for our association to advocate for the maintenance and upkeep our California's roadway facilities. California is facing a severe infrastructure crisis, and CTA stands ready to work with the public sector and other private sector advocates in order to ensure that California's goods movement system can continue to thrive. 

According to the American Association of State Highway & Transportation Officials, 2/3 of all California roads are rated either poor and mediocre. Without significant action to address this problem California's roads will continue to deteriorate at a rapid pace, costing taxpayers more and more with each passing year. CTA calls on all transportation policies to work together on funding our growing maintenance needs. 

As a general policy statement, the Board of Directors approved the following: 

The California Trucking Association supports fair and equitable transportation policies and funding decisions that are aimed at:

1.        Making goods movement a significant priority in California;

2.       Increasing efficiencies on our transportation infrastructure system in order to boost economic growth, limit congestion, and          mitigate environmental concerns.

3.        Improving safety related projects and programs;

4.      Prioritizing first road rehabilitation and maintenance by identifying secured funding sources;

5.       Supporting efforts to limit vehicle miles traveled for single occupant, private passenger vehicle trips;

6.       Dedicating revenues generated by commercial motor vehicles to highway related purposes.

San Joaquin Valley Interregional Goods Movement Plan Survey

The planning agencies for eight Central California counties are currently developing a San Joaquin Valley Interregional Goods Movement Plan. The sponsoring agencies and the consultant team leading the effort are particularly concerned with maximizing opportunities for motor carriers to provide input into the process. 

To facilitate stakeholder input, the consultant team has created a brief Survey Monkey questionnaire accessible on-line at: SJV Carrier Survey.

If you operate in the San Joaquin or Central Valley areas, CTA recommends that you take the time to fill out the survey and provide your input. The survey also offers opportunities to obtain further information regarding the Goods Movement Plan and to participate in the planning process.
