US 101: Corridor System Management Plan
(Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo Counties)
The US 101 Corridor System Management Plan (CSMP) is a condition of Proposition 1B Corridor Mobility Improvement Account (CMIA) funding for the Santa Maria River Bridges widening project and Union Valley Parkway Interchange project. The CSMP extends across the San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara county line. The corridor is approximately 22 miles from the Clark Avenue /US 101 interchange (pm 82.18) just south of Santa Maria to the Grand Avenue/US 101 interchange (pm 13.17) in the City of Arroyo Grande. The corridor limits extend beyond the highway to include a comprehensive analysis of areas adjacent to and surrounding the highway as well as consideration of all transportation modes.
The CSMP assesses current performance and identifies congestion conditions along the corridor. Analysis of existing conditions and deficiencies resulted in the development of recommended solutions and strategies to improve mobility and preserve the corridor. CSMP efforts began in March 2010 with the initiation of San Luis Obispo County's US 101 South County Traffic Study. This study is within the limits of the US 101 CSMP corridor and referenced in the CSMP. Included below is a link to the current draft. The CSMP is scheduled for completion Summer 2012.
