How does the planning process identify projects?

Local, state, and regional transportation plans work together to inform the public, guide planning activities, and identify improvements to be made to the transportation system.

The projects that are identified during the planning process are included on their respective project lists.

Different project lists are eligible for different types of funding. A project can be included on one or all of the lists depending on eligibility and that agencys priorities.

Once on a local, regional, or state project list, that project is eligible for funding and construction.

Public input is gathered and considered during all stages of the planning process.

The California Freight Mobility Plan is only one of the statewide transportation plans that guide planning activities and indentifies improvements. There are several statewide transportation plans, each of which plan for a different sector of the transportation system.

Projects in the California Freight Mobility Plan must also be in a Regional Transportation Plan in order to be included on a regional or state project list.How was the
