Ox Yoke Road/Riverside Avenue Corridor Study and Traffic Impact Fee Program Project

Growth and development pressures continue with the City of Anderson and areas of Shasta County north of the City of Anderson. Planning an efficient and affordable transportation system to alleviate existing traffic congestion and support future development within the study area is the primary focus of this transportation planning analysis. The study focuses on the need for improvements within the Ox Yoke Road/Riverside Avenue Corridor.

Fix 5: A Partnership - Easing Congestion on the I-5 Corridor

Link to Fix 5 Web site

Congestion on Interstate 5 (I-5) through our region is growing at a rate of 10% per year, while funding has not increased. I-5 is projected to fail within the next 10 years, meaning we will experience stop-and-go traffic in the morning and evening commute hours on our freeway system.

Meetings have started with local regional planning agencies, city councils, board of supervisors, city managers, and county administrative officers of the jurisdictions along I-5 in Shasta and Tehama counties. The focus of these meetings is to develop a consensus that a regional study is needed to look at capacity improvements along I-5, and develop a fair-share revenue program. There is unanimous support in moving forward with this study.

Southern Region Transportation Planning Study and Traffic Impact Fee Program

The Shasta County RTPA is addressing the growing needs of Shasta County's Southern Region. The planning process will address current and future transportation needs in the West Cottonwood area, and identify specific projects for future funding.

Caltrans Transportation Concept Reports (TCR) and Corridor Management Plans (CMP)Link to Caltrans District 2 TCR's and CMP's The Transportation Concept Report (TCR) is a California Department of Transportation System Planning Document that includes an analysis of a transportation route or corridor. A TCR establishes a 20-year consensus-based concept for how California State highways should operate and broadly identifies the nature and extent of improvements needed to attain that operating condition. A TCR identifies long-range objectives for a route and helps to guide short-term decisions for improvements.

 

A Corridor Management Plan (CMP) is a “living” document that will be updated periodically to include the changing concerns and needs of
partner agencies. A CMP represents a compilation of plans and studies into a single focused corridor concept.

Shasta County Regional Transportation Planning Agency and Caltrans District 2, along with stakeholders in the community, developed the Shasta County Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) Architecture and Deployment Plan. This document is mandated and serves as a framework where various electronics, communications, information processing systems, and hardware devices can be deployed to improve the safety and efficiency of the county's surface transportation system.
