and Safe on 17 Meeting 

4. Received Information Items 

Tegan Speiser provided an update on the development of a Monterey Bay Area 511 Traveler 

Information System Feasibility and Implementation Plan. She informed the committee that RTC staff 

will be requesting their input on the 511 Feasibility and Implementation Plan. RTC is in the midst of 

conducting a survey to get input from the public, partner agencies, and stakeholders on what type of 

traveler information system will be useful for our area. 

Ginger Dykaar stated that there were articles that were published in local newspapers that discussed 

the 511 Traveler Information System that is being considered for the Monterey Bay area and 

encouraged people to take the survey. 

Ginger Dykaar gave an update on the Freeway Service Patrol (FSP) program stating that the program is 

running smoothly but FSP State funding for FY11/12 could be affected due to the lack of congestion 

data. Deb Larson, District 5 offered to involve Caltrans staff in the traffic operations unit to help resolve 

this and ensure that funding is not lost. 

Ginger Dykaar reviewed Mr. Roadshow articles that are interesting examples of public’s perception of 

traffic and safety on Highway 17. 

5. Received Update California Highway Patrol Safe on 17 Program Statistics and Public 

Information Efforts 

Lieutenant Wood of the San Jose Area Highway Patrol reported that collisions decreased and citations 

increased. There was 1 traffic fatality this year on the Santa Clara side of Hwy 17. The number of 

collisions can be increased by secondary collisions that occur due to the initial collision. This can skew 

the numbers as sometimes there are 4 to 5 secondary collisions after an initial collision. The cabbage 

truck that overturned on Hwy 17 on the Santa Clara side took approximately 5 hours to clear. There 

was a Mr. Roadshow article where people wrote in asking if trucks can be banned on Hwy 17. People 

complain that trucks go either too fast or too slow. Lt. Wood stated that commerce cannot be shut out 

from most state routes. Truck collisions are driver error 99% of the time. CHP has not seen any 

increase of speeds from normal on Hwy 17. Traffic still seems to be a bit lighter than normal due to 

economic downturn. Lt. Wood suggested adding a blurb in the 511 video about educating drivers to 

get 511 information prior to driving or hands free on the road. 

Ginger Dykaar noted that when there was extra enforcement in fall 2009, there was an average of 10 

collisions per month versus the spring of 2009 and 2010 with essentially no extra enforcement shows 

15 to 16 collisions per month. This shows that extra enforcement is helping to reduce the number of 

collisions but wondered what strategy works best to reduce collisions; concentrate hours in wet winter 

months or hours spread out throughout the year. Lt Wood explained that his professional judgement is 

that they get the greatest benefit of extra enforcement hours in the fall when the wet weather starts to 

help people change their behavior from summer driving. Lt. Wood mentioned that we don’t know how 

many collisions would have occurred if there was not extra enforcement in the wet weather. The Santa 


Clara County side of Hwy 17 continues to see a reduction in collisions so the strategy seems to be 

working. 

Officer Holden reported that for the Santa Cruz County side there is a slight increase (12.5%) in the 

number of collisions compared to this time last year. Citations issued are up 2.5 percent over this time 

last year. It appears that the bulk of the collisions this past year occurred in the rainy months and in 

July due to increase in tourist traffic. Only 1 traffic fatality occurred on the Santa Cruz side of Hwy 17 

this year. Ginger Dykaar mentioned that Santa Cruz CHP has only used $40,000 worth of funds for the 

last 2 years instead of the full $50,000 that is available each year. Funds for Santa Cruz County can be 

rolled over to the next fiscal year so $70,000 in funds is available for the current fiscal year for 

concentrated or distributed enforcement. Captain Manriquez expressed a preference for consistently 

increased enforcement throughout the year with some extra in the winter due to wet weather and 

extra in the summer due to increased traffic during tourist season. Captain Manriquez will talk to 

overtime coordinator to determine how overtime is tracked and then will get back to staff. Santa Cruz 

CHP will plan to spend $70,000 that is available for FY 10/11. 

David Garti announced that the 2 Safe on 17 signs have been replaced on Hwy 17 in the beginning of 

August. The signs are a good reminder to the public that Hwy 17 is a safety corridor. Signs are not 

typically replaced but because of the continued funding of the extra enforcement program, Caltrans 

provided the new signs. 

6. Received Major Incident Review 

Officer Holden summarized the incident where the tractor trailer combination truck overturned on Hwy 

17 going southbound near Glenwood Drive curve on Sept 2, 2010 at 6:09 am. The driver was going 

faster than he could handle with the weight of the beer in the truck. He intentionally went into the 

embankment and bounced back out into the road. SB lanes closed for 4 hrs 15 mins. The majority of 

the time was spent offloading the beer from the truck. There was a discussion on what information is 

being conveyed after an incident and how it can be improved. Changeable message signs (CMS) were 

well utilized. Luis noted that there was no information on exactly where the incident was located so it 

was difficult to decide on the best alternate route. Colleen McMahon suggested using Nixel Alert (free 

notification system that agencies can sign up for from computer or cell phone) to identify alternate 

routes. Suggestion was made to use signs to tell people how long the delay may last. Ramin mentioned 

that CMS have limited space and it is difficult to pinpoint the exact location of an incident as people do 

not know minor cross roads. 

Other state routes can be suggested for some highways but Hwy 17 does not have other state routes 

nearby. There are ramifications if people are told to use a county route. Siobhan recommends that we 

get highway advisory radio (HAR) system operational as HAR does not have the limitations of signs and 

sigalerts. HAR is not working in Santa Cruz County. There is a licensing issue over the signal which is 

taking time to resolve and the issue is exacerbated by budget problems. 

7. Received Review of Operations and Status of TOS 

Ramin extended invitation to staff to tour Dist 4 TMC facility to show process and limitations. Closure 

of 50% or more of facility for more than 20 minutes, triggers a sigalert. Ramin requested that the TMC 

at District 4 be informed immediately when a CMS is not working. 


8. Received Highway 17 Project Update from Caltrans District 4 – Wet Weather Project 

Shawn Enjily said that due to the furloughs and issues related to water quality requirements, the 

schedule was extended. Hopefully, once the budget is passed, the schedule will not be affected 

further. Luis Mendez added that the Wet Weather project will benefit from providing construction 

information via the CMSs and the HAR. When HAR is discussed at the next meeting, the Wet Weather 

Project will be part of the consideration in getting the HAR operational. Funds have been set aside for 

public information about construction project. 

9. Received Highway 17 Project Update from Caltrans District 5 

Siobhan Saunders reported that the Caltrans project to update the guardrail and barriers is about 20% 

complete. The contractor is going bankrupt and therefore the bonding agency will be hiring another 

contractor to complete the work. The project will start up again in the spring. Another project near 

Vine Hill Road is not completed due to Caltrans rejecting the pavement. This contractor is also going 

bankrupt. The project will not be completed until the spring. Another job on SB Hwy 17 to improve 

guardrails may be delayed due to the budget not being passed and the migratory bird act that only 

allows trees to be cut at certain times of year. 

10. Received New Highway 1 Changeable Message Sign Update 

Siobhan Saunders reported that the Highway 1 CMS will not be installed. It is likely that a place with 

an adequate sight distance was not available. 

11. Received Traffic Operations System Improvements 

Siobhan Saunders reported that installation of detection equipment on Highway 1 including vehicle 

counting and closed circuit television cameras (CCTV) started Monday (9/13/10). It should take about 3 

months to install. 

Shawn Enjily asked if there have been any problems with moveable barriers for projects on Hwy 17. 

Siobhan responded that as far as she knows the moveable barriers have worked quite well. 

Ginger Dykaar requested that Caltrans inform RTC if any call boxes are going to be affected by the 

guardrail project that will start up again in the spring. 

Deb Larson reported that priorities for the Santa Cruz area have been to activate the CCTV cameras in 

the fishhook area where they were installed in 2008 as part of the interchange improvement project. 

There are 3 cameras: Emeline, Ocean St and Pasatiempo. The Emeline CCTV is online and the Ocean 

St and Pastiempo CCTVs should be online by the end of this year. The Laurel curve CCTV still needs a 

router and there is currently no purchasing allowed at Caltrans except for emergency equipment. 

Hopefully, once a state budget is approved, there will be maintenance funds to make purchases 

necessary to get the Laurel Curve CCTV and microwave vehicle detection equipment hooked up to 

router. 

Deb Larson initiated a project on Hwy 17 that will be looking at shoulder widening, concrete guardrails 

and/or retaining walls at 3 different locations. The project will provide more recovery area and sight 

distance around the curves. Locations are just north of Laurel Road going NB, NB near Sugarloaf Rd, 

and near Glenwood Cutoff in the SB direction. 



AGENDA: March 23, 2011 

TO: Safe on 17 Task Force & Traffic Operation Systems Oversight Committee 

FROM: Ginger Dykaar, Transportation Planner 

REGARDING: Santa Cruz County Freeway Service Patrol Program Update 

RECOMMENDATIONS 

Receive an update on the Santa Cruz County Freeway Service Patrol Program. 

BACKGROUND 

The Santa Cruz County Regional Transportation Commission (RTC) operates the Freeway 

Service Patrol (FSP) program in Santa Cruz County. This program consists of two tow trucks 

patrolling Highway 1 from Highway 9 to State Park Drive and Highway 17 from Granite Creek 

Road to the Santa Clara County Line. Both highway segments are patrolled during weekday 

commute periods. Traditionally, the Highway 17 segment is also patrolled on Sundays from 

1:00 pm to 7:00 pm all year round and Saturdays from 1:00 pm to 7:00 pm during the spring 

and summer. FSP tow trucks remove disabled vehicles from the highway at no cost to the 

motorists. The FSP program is designed to reduce congestion, improve safety, and reduce fuel 

consumption and auto emissions by minimizing the congestion associated with collisions and 

other incidents. 

Historically, the FSP program has been funded using a combination of Santa Cruz County’s 

regional share of State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) funds, Service Authority 

Freeway Emergency (SAFE) funds, and State Freeway Service Patrol funds provided by 

Caltrans. In FY09/10, American Recovery and Reinvestment Act Funding and in FY10/11, 

Regional Surface Transportation Program Funding were secured for the Santa Cruz County FSP 

program. Thanks to these additional funds, full FSP service for Highway 17 was reinstated and 

weekend service on Highway 1 (Saturdays and Sundays from 1:00 to 7:00 pm) was provided 

during the summer of 2010 and will be provided in the summer of 2011. 

FSP Allocation 

The State FSP funds allocated to each FSP program are determined annually using a formula 

which includes population, freeway lane miles and congestion (daily vehicle-hours of delay). At 

the September, 2010 Safe on 17 Task Force & Traffic Operation Systems Oversight Committee 

meeting, RTC staff expressed concern about the allocation for Santa Cruz County FSP in 

FY11/12. The amount of the allocation is dependent on the Highway Congestion Monitoring 

Program (HICOMP) Report. The 2009 HICOMP Report shows zero congestion for Santa Cruz 

County because there is not any traffic detection equipment reporting to PeMs. Caltrans has 

assured the RTC that the Santa Cruz County allocation for FSP service in FY 11/12 is not in 

jeopardy due to the lack of traffic detection equipment in the county. The Santa Cruz County 

FSP Program relies heavily on Caltrans FSP funds and a significant reduction in funds could 

drastically impact our ability to continue FSP service on Highways 1 and 17 at the current level. 

Safe on 17/TOS, March 2011 FSP Update– Page Page 61

Highway 17 FSP Contract 

In September, 2010, RTC staff began a procurement process to contract a tow operator for FSP 

service on Highway 17 as the current tow service contract will expire in July, 2011. Staff 

released a request for proposals (RFP) for FSP service on Highway 17 for the contract period 

July 2011-July 2015. Three contractors submitted a proposal for Highway 17 FSP service; 

Extreme Towing, Ladd’s Towing, and Lima Towing. The Evaluation Committee, consisting of 

SCCRTC staff, Santa Cruz CHP and a Caltrans representative, reviewed and evaluated the 

proposals received based on the tow contractor’s ability to provide FSP services on Highway 17, 

the company’s ability to manage their company and FSP services, and the company’s price 

proposal. 

The Evaluation Committee recommended negotiating and entering into an agreement with the 

lowest priced responsive bidder, Lima Towing, for the Highway 17 FSP contract for the period 

beginning July 10, 2011 and ending July 11, 2015. The RTC did not approve the 

recommendation as they had concerns over the degree of experience and the cost estimate of 

the low bidder and whether that would be problematic over the term of the contract. RTC staff 

will be working to refine the procurement process to alleviate the concerns of the RTC. RTC 

staff will be recommending to the RTC to amend the current contract to extend the end date for 

2 years. This will allow the procurement for FSP service on Highway 17 and Highway 1 to 

coincide in order to reduce staff time needed for the procurement of FSP services and to 

potentially increase the number of tow operators that will bid on the contract.

TO: Safe on 17 Task Force & Traffic Operation Systems Oversight Committee 

FROM: Ginger Dykaar, Transportation Planner 

RE: 511 Traveler Information System 

RECOMMENDATIONS 

Receive an update on the Monterey Bay Area 511 Traveler Information System 

BACKGROUND 

The Santa Cruz County Regional Transportation Commission (RTC) and the 

Transportation Agency for Monterey County (TAMC) received a Caltrans Planning 

grant to prepare a Feasibility Analysis and Implementation Plan for a Monterey Bay 

Area 511 Traveler Information System (The 511 Plan). Of the $259,210 in grant 

funding secured for this project, $150,000 is designated for contracting with a 

consultant to prepare a Feasibility Analysis and Implementation Plan for a Monterey 

Bay Area 511 Traveler Information System (The 511 Plan). 

The first part of The 511 Plan, a Feasibility Analysis, will determine the viability of 

establishing a traveler information system for the region and, if feasible, will 

recommend the type of system and major features and resources that will be used. 

Systems to be considered include building a 511 service from scratch, franchising 

another system or contracting with a consultant who operates multiple 511 

systems. Findings from the fall 2010 survey and outreach effort will be used to 

inform the consultant of the types of traveler information that communities in Santa 

Cruz and Monterey Counties would find most useful. 

Part two, the Implementation Plan, will lay out the functional requirements needed 

to design and implement a comprehensive, centralized, and multi-modal traveler 

information system to serve the Monterey Bay Area. It will also identify the steps 

and provide an estimate of costs required to implement the recommended system. 

The scope of work for The 511 Plan follows a systems engineering design approach 

as recommended by Federal Highway Administration for Intelligent Transportation 

System (ITS) projects. 

DISCUSSION 

The request for proposals for The 511 Plan was released in November, 2010. Five 

proposals were submitted to perform the work. An evaluation committee comprised 

of staff from RTC, TAMC, Caltrans and technical advisors from the Metropolitan 

Transportation Commission and the Sacramento Area Council of Governments 

reviewed the five proposals and selected three firms to be interviewed: The ICx 

Transportation Group, IBI Group, and PBS&J. Based on criteria specified in the RFP 

and information from the written proposals, interviews and references, the 


Monterey Bay Area 511 Traveler Information System Page 2 

evaluation committee recommended contracting with The ICx Transportation Group 

(ICx) to prepare the Monterey Bay Area 511 Feasibility Analysis and 

Implementation Plan for an amount not to exceed $150,000. 

ICx is a consulting engineering firm with experience working on a variety of ITS 

projects. Their expertise includes traffic engineering; transportation planning; and 

systems and software engineering, development and implementation. Together 

with their subconsultant, Iteris, Inc., they have extensive experience developing 

and deploying 511 systems throughout the U.S. including the San Francisco Bay 

Area, San Diego, the San Joaquin Valley, and San Luis Obispo. 

The RTC approved the recommendation and the contract with ICx Transportation 

Group was executed in March, 2011. A kickoff meeting with Key Partners in the 511 

Plan has been organized for early April.

Roadshow: Highway 17 tops list of most improved roads 

By Gary Richards 

grichards@mercurynews.com 

Posted: 01/01/2011 12:00:00 AM PST 

Updated: 01/01/2011 09:25:57 PM PST 

Q A reader named Hans Halberstadt recently said he has been driving in the Bay Area and California for 50 years and has 

seen some wonderful improvements over that time and wanted you to mention some of them. For me, a Santa Cruz-area 

native, the biggest improvement is "... 

Fred Danielson 

San Jose 

A Highway 17, of course, for you and many more. 

Q Fifty years ago, we were in high school and college and would drive to Santa Cruz on Highway 17 -- which was three 

lanes wide with the middle lane used for passing in either direction! There was one lane going north and one going south. 

We had a few harrowing drives, to be sure! "... When I started to drive down Highway 17 was in '62 or '63, when surfing 

became popular. There were so many accidents on 17 they tried putting billboard cutouts of police cars on the roadside. I 

guess that didn't work too well so they started planting old cars painted black and white like the CHP cars, with a 

mannequin in uniform behind the wheel. That seemed to slow folks down quite a bit. The accidents were always bad -- no 

center wall, few guardrails, and crashes were either head-on or over the side and down the mountain. I still to this day do 

not enjoy Highway 17, but it is much better than it used to be. "... I tell my kids there used to be only a double yellow line 

separating opposing lanes of traffic on 17 and they are in disbelief. 

Crews begin Hwy. 17 improvement project near Scotts Valley 

By KIMBERLY WHITE 

Posted: 02/01/2011 01:30:34 AM PST

Crews begin work Monday on Highway 17 north of Santa's Village Road... (Shmuel Thaler/Sentinel) 


SCOTTS VALLEY -- Construction crews began working Monday morning on a project along a section of Highway 17 near 

Scotts Valley that's expected to produce traffic delays for more than a year. 

The project involves building retaining walls and concrete barriers on the half-mile section of road between Santa's Village 

Road and Crescent Drive, as well as widening the road's shoulder, said Caltrans spokesman Jim Shivers. 

Funding for the $2.8 million project, which was awarded to Alamo-based Gordon N. Ball Inc., is coming from the federal 

Highway Safety Improvement Program, which aims to fund projects that reduce fatalities and injuries on public roads. 

For example, there now is no retaining wall along the stretch of Highway 17 where crews are working -- a portion of which 

has dense foliage and large trees growing next to the road. 

Shivers also said more concrete barriers are being constructed across the state to prevent vehicles from drifting into the 

opposite direction of travel. 

"It's a case of traffic volume," he added. "More people, more cars, more trucks, just a greater use of the state highway 

system 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We need to put in more and more of these concrete barriers in the center median 

to prevent head-on collisions, to prevent the run-off-the-road incidents that could lead to an accident." 

According to Caltrans data, 5,700 vehicles travel along that stretch alone during peak hours. Shivers said Caltrans 

uses traffic volume studies and collision data to determine where improvements should be made such as installing new or 

additional interchanges, ramps, signals and crosswalks.

SUV rolls over on Highway 17 

By Cathy Kelly - Santa Cruz Sentinel 

Posted: 02/14/2011 12:34:07 PM PST 

SUMMIT - A white sport utility vehicle overturned on rain-slicked southbound Highway 17 near Laurel 

Curve about noon today, blocking one lane and slowing traffic, the California Highway Patrol reported. 

The SUV apparently came to rest in the slow lane, officer Grant Boles said. 

It was not immediately clear whether the driver was injured. 

Officers were running traffic breaks to slow traffic and an ambulance was dispatched as soon as the CHP 

got word a car had rolled over, a dispatcher said. 

Mustang driver is thrown from car on Hwy. 17, but suffers only a bad 

cut 

By Sharon Noguchi

Posted: 01/30/2011 06:41:08 PM PST 

Updated: 01/31/2011 12:44:23 PM PST 

A driver escaped with a bad cut Sunday evening after he was thrown from a Mustang — through his rear windshield - then 

hit by a car on Highway 17 in Los Gatos. 

At 5:14 p.m., according to the California Highway Patrol, the agency received a report of someone who had been ejected 

from a car on southbound Highway 17, just south of Lark Avenue. The car was a 1989 black Ford Mustang, Officer Ralph 

Caggiano said. 

The solo driver was speeding and crashed into the freeway's center-divide wall, Caggiano said. The impact threw the 

driver, who was not wearing a seat belt, out the back window and onto the roadway. He was then struck, in an apparent 

glancing blow, by an oncoming Porsche Cayenne SUV, according to the Caggiano. 

The Mustang landed right side up, but perpendicular to traffic. The driver of the Porsche stopped, and other passing cars 

also pulled over to help. "I just saw the man laying on his side, and someone trying to cover him up with a blanket," said 

Leah Kahn, who was driving home to Santa Cruz after the crash. 

The CHP said the victim was a 33-year-old male, but did not otherwise identify him. He was walking and talking at the 

scene of the crash, Caggiano said, then was transported by ambulance to Valley Medical Center. He was diagnosed with a 

large cut on his back, according to the CHP. "The fact that he got ejected out the back window and didn't suffer major 

injuries," Caggiano said, "It's one of those crazy things."

A Santa Cruz man suffered major injuries Monday in a two-car crash on Highway 17 at the Laurel Curve, according to the 

CHP. 

One northbound lane was closed for nearly two hours after the 7 a.m. accident. 

A 28-year-old Santa Cruz man driving a 1992 BMW 325i south on Laurel Curve apparently lost control and entered the 

northbound lanes, colliding with a GMC Sierra, said CHP officer Sarah Jackson. 

The BMW driver was taken by helicopter to a hospital in San Jose, Jackson said. The driver of the pickup had minor injuries 

and was not taken to a hospital, the CHP said. 

CHP and Caltrans responded to the accident to clean up debris.

reopened about 6 a.m. Monday. 

A PG&E repair crew and CHP officers responded.

Crashes slow Highway 17 Thursday morning 

By Stephen Baxter 

Posted: 12/10/2010 01:30:15 AM PST 

SANTA CRUZ -- Slick roads and wet weather contributed to at least eight accidents on Highway 17 Thursday morning, 

including a California Highway Patrol car that crashed near Laurel Curve, authorities reported. 

About 9:45 a.m., a CHP officer was driving north on Highway 17 near Laurel Road when he crashed, said officer Jeff 

Hatcher. It is unclear what caused the accident, but the car was not in pursuit when it crashed, Hatcher said. 

"We're still investigating," Hatcher said. 

The officer had minor injuries and was taken to Dominican Hospital as a precaution, according to the CHP. The patrol car 

was towed, which is standard in a CHP-involved accident. 

There was at least one other accident near Highway 17 and Laurel Road, at about 10:50 a.m. 

"Typically we have collisions there during inclement weather," officer Hugh Holden said. 

All of the collisions happened before 11 a.m. and none involved major injuries, authorities said. 

Hatcher said accidents often happen on 17 after it rains but when the roads are still wet. When drivers can't see the rain, 

they sometimes let down their guard, Hatcher said. 

CHP officers advised drivers to slow down during and after rainfall. 

Santa Cruz Woman crashes into CHP patrol car on Highway 17 

By Cathy Kelly - Santa Cruz Sentinel 

Posted: 11/23/2010 02:20:52 PM PST 

A California Highway Patrol officer suffered minor injuries this afternoon when a woman lost control of a car and slammed 

into the driver's side door of his CHP cruiser in a Highway 17 turnout, the CHP reported. 


The cause of the 1:20 p.m. crash is still being investigated, officer Sarah Jackson said. 

Natalie Nelson, 22, of Santa Cruz was driving a silver Mustang northbound when the car traveled off the wet highway and 

struck the patrol car parked in a turnout at Laurel curve, Jackson said. 

Nelson was unhurt. The officer was in some pain, but it appears his injuries were minor, Jackson said. 

Both cars were towed.

By Alia Wilson - Santa Cruz Sentinel

SCOTTS VALLEY - A 60-year-old Boulder Creek man sustained major injuries after he crashed his motorcycle into the 

center divide on northbound Highway 17 Wednesday morning.
