2007-08 – 2017-18 California State Rail Planunderway, and programmed in the STIP, TCRP Program, and anticipated to befunded in the Proposition 1B Bond Program.For the Pacific Surfliner Route, longer range projects are based on projects in theLOSSAN Corridor Strategic Plan (Los Angeles to San Diego), and the LOSSANNorth Corridor Strategic Plan (Los Angeles to San Luis Obispo).The unconstrained program contains all immediate and near term projects in theLOSSAN Plans, and a few long-term projects.The San Joaquin Route longer-term projects are based on preliminary results ofthe route’s Strategic Business Plan which is currently underway, and it isanticipated to be completed in early 2008. Some preliminary project costs havebeen developed; however it is anticipated that with the submission of the finalPlan cost figures for proposed projects will be further refined.The Capitol Corridor longer-term project list was developed in conjunction withCCJPA staff. It is based on the CCJPA Vision Plan of 2005 which is updatedperiodically. The Coast Route projects are based on Amtrak’s CaliforniaPassenger Rail System 20-Year Improvement Plan. See “Corridor StrategicPlanning” in this chapter for a more detailed description of the Strategic Plans.Timely implementation of this capital program is dependent on receipt of a largeportion of the Federal funding and/or receipt of funds from tax credit bonds.If such Federal funding is unavailable, implementation of this capital program willhave to be delayed to reflect the level of State funding made available from futureSTIP programming cycles, as supplemented by any other available fundingsources. It is certain that State funding alone would not be adequate to fund thisprogram.18
