Office of Advance System Planning
The Office of Advance System Planning is fundamental to Caltrans long-range planning for interregional transportation and statewide travel analysis. Statewide system, interregional and advanced corridor planning provide the basis for identifying current and future deficiencies on the state highway system and improvements to meet mobility goals.
In coordination with other functional programs the office provides direction and reporting of state highway projects for both the Regional Transportation Improvement Program (RTIP) and Interregional Transportation Improvement Program (ITIP) projects. This ensures that the Department is consistent with priorities derived within the Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) and Interregional Transportation System Plan (ITSP) as the second stage in the planning process, leading towards project funding in the State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) and other programs.
The Office of Advance System Planning is comprised of System Analysis, System Guidance, Corridor Studies; and the Intermodal Transportation Management System (ITMS) branches. In Addition the Division of Transportation Planning's Geographic Information System (GIS) and Computer Support functions are within the office.
