CTC adopts updated SHOP guidelines and approves broad package of allocations and amendments
Summary
The commission unanimously adopted amended SHOP guidelines that incorporate SB 960 complete‑streets requirements, approved multiple SHOP allocations and amendments (including several high‑priority SHOP supplemental requests), and authorized assorted STIP, TCEP and TIRCP allocations across the state.
At the Dec. 6 meeting the California Transportation Commission adopted amended State Highway Operation and Protection Program (SHOP) guidelines and approved a large package of project allocations, supplemental funding requests and program amendments.
John Gray introduced the final SHOP guideline updates, which clarified eligibility (section 12), added guidance for shop/non‑shop partnering (section 21), updated alternative delivery methods (sections 29 and 40) and revised time‑extension procedures (section 49). Staff also incorporated Senate Bill 960 requirements on complete streets and multimodal considerations at several locations in the guidelines (sections 10, 18 and 57.g). The commission adopted the amended guidelines unanimously.
The commission then took grouped action on dozens of allocation and supplemental requests across multiple programs (SHOP allocations and supplemental funds, STIP allocations, TCEP supplemental for 7th Street Grade Separation East in Alameda County, TIRCP allocations including BART Phase 2 related awards and Proposition 1B and local bridge program allocations). Staff summarized project types—pavement preservation, safety improvements, ADA curb ramps, bridge rehabilitation, transportation management system upgrades and transit capital awards—and highlighted the need to move funds quickly for projects that are ready to advance. Multiple regional officials and agency representatives called in to support specific projects (Humboldt County pavement and safety projects, San Jose‑area BART investments, Alameda County grade separation).
Where noted, staff identified withdrawn items or last‑minute changes prior to votes. The commission approved the grouped consent and action items by unanimous votes during the session. Several commissioners emphasized the programmatic and equity goals of the commission and thanked staff and partners.
