The Department has prepared the Plaa as an examination of intercity passenger rail and freight rail transportation in California, in accordance with Section 14036 of the Government Code. The passenger element of the Plan reviews the current operations of the three State-supported intercity rail passenger routes (Pacific Surfliner, San Joaquin, and Capitol), and outlines ten-year plans for capital improvements and service expansions. This element aJso addresses the Depanment's vision for intercity rail and its standards for achievement of ten-year goals, and discusses potential new routes including high-speed rail. ~ The freight element of the Plan is an overview of the State freight rail system, looking at commodities and volumes of goods moving in and out of the State. This element aJso looks at freight issues like capacity concerns, intermoda] traffic, passenger and freight trains sharing right of way, short line railroad issues, funding programs, environmental issues, new technology, and future needs and objectives. Draft copies of the Plan were reviewed by various stakeholders. The passenger rail element was reviewed by each regional rail corridor advisory group or authority. The freight rail element was reviewed at public meetings held in Oakland and Los Angeles in August 2000. Comments received have been reflected in the Plan, as appropriate. On January 18, 2002, the Draft Plan was presented to the Departmental Transportation Advisory Committee (DTAC). The Plan was presented to the California Transportation Commission (CTC) for advice and consent in February 2002, and the Plan has been revised to reflect DTAC and CTC comments. Enclosed is the CTC's transmittal letter and resolution. Sincerely, ~!/J#~ JE~~ES Director Enclosures ~Caltrans improves mobility across California!'

The ten-year plan provides Caltrans' vision for intercity rail service. Caltrans' 10-year plan goals are to provide intercity rail as an alternative mode of transportation, promote congestion relief, improve air quaJity, better fuel efficiency, and improved land use practices. This year's Plan includes: standards for meeting those goals; sets priorities for increased revenues, increased capacity, reduced running times; and cost effectiveness. The plan describes California's intercity rail ner.vork and connecting bus service. The plan also presents Caltrans' ten-year recommendations regarding the level of state-supported service on specific routes, as well as the capital and operational funding required for supporting such service. The report also discusses rail planning and marketing, programming, funding processes for operations and capital improvements, freight rail, and potential new service and routes. In reviewing Caltrans' draft 2002 ten-year report, the Commission at its November 2001 meeting advised Caltrans to include in its final ten-year plan a constrained historic funding alternative to place in context the $4 billion in potential funding for capital improvements. Caltrans' final ten­ year report incorporated the Commission's advice. The Commission, in granting its consent at its February 2002 meeting recommended that Caltrans include in its 2004 Ten-Year Rail Plan more infonnation: on life cycle capital costs; on rail and land use in the Central Valley; and on emissions from mobile sources (cars and locomotives). March 1, 200:2 Senator Murray Assemblyman Dutra Page2 The Commission adopted its Advice and Consent resolution (attached) at its February 2002 meeting. (Caltrans is responsible for transmitting the ten-year report, after it has prepared the report for publication.) The Commission appreciates the opportunity to give advice and consent on Caltrans' 2002 Ten-Year California State Rail Plan. The Com.mission intends its advice to be constructive in producing a report that identifies cunent and potential future issues for the Administration and the Legislature. The Commission intends to continue, in cooperation with Caltrans and local agencies, to implement and expand intercity rail service in California.
