Dear Secretary Chao:

The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) respectfully submits the Advanced Transportation and Congestion Management Technologies Deployment Initiative (ATCMTD) grant application for the US 50 Integrated Corridor Management (ICM) Project. This project is a collaborative effort in partnership with the cities, counties, and regional agencies along US 50 from downtown Sacramento to El Dorado County.

ICM maximizes existing resources and helps agencies come together to implement solutions that benefit the broader region and have bigger impacts than one agency acting alone. Through improved collaboration, proactive system management, and advanced technologies, ICM will contribute to a more integrated and efficient multimodal transportation system.

The multijurisdictional partnership-based US 50 ICM will lay out a strategy to utilize the latest technologies and industry practices to improve multi-modal mobility for the entire corridor. this technology will assist in the collection, dissemination and use of real-time transportation-related information to reduce congestion, greenhouse gas emissions, improve travel time reliability, mobility and system performance, and provide for more efficient and accessible transportation on the state and local transportation network. Please contact Ray Zhang, Acting Caltrans District 3 Director, at (503) 741 -4233, or by e-email at <rihui.zhang@dot.ca.gov> if you have any questions.

Thank you for your consideration of this ATCMTD grant request from Caltrans and our partners.

Sincerely,

/S/

MALCOLM DOUGHERTY
Director
