Enclosed is
the 2006 update of the
California
Aviation System Plan (CASP)
Policy Element
as adopted
by the California Transportation
Commission on February 2,
2006. This document
replaces the previous Policy

This document
reflects issues influencing
current and future aviation
transportation, including
system planning guidance
from the Federal Aviation
Administration and the purpose,
mission, vision, and goals
of the California Department
of Transportation (Department).
In updating
the Policy Element, the Division
received input from the following

goal of working collaboratively
with our partners: Aircraft
Owners and Pilots Association,

Regional Transportation Planning
Agency Working Group, the
California Transportation
Commission’s Technical
Advisory Committee on Aeronautics,
