CTA's CEO Eric Sauer joined Senator Josh Newman, CalSTA Secretary Toks Omishakin and Lee Ann Eager, chair of the California Transportation Commission on a panel during the Mobility 21 Conference last Friday.
The State of California has led the nation with innovative approaches to transportation development, balancing local and state efforts, funding, and regulatory requirements for our regional and state-wide needs. But striking a balance for more than 22 million constituents in Southern California is no easy task.
The Transportation Investment Equity for More Than 22 Million Panel focused on the efforts each panelist has prioritized to advance transportation solutions and how the state can better plan for the infrastructure programs needed for today and into the future.
The California’s Employment Development Department and the Department of Industrial Relations’ Labor Commissioner’s Office are hosting a series of webinars focused on helping the trucking industry understand and comply with AB 5.

Your participation is needed on three current truck route studies:
· San Joaquin County (for SJCOG)
· Irvine (for the City of Irvine)
· San Bernardino (for the City of San Bernardino)
San Joaquin County and its cities have existing STAA truck routes and have draft recommendations for new routes and extensions. The City of Irvine also has routes and is considering updates. Despite the heavy concentration of distribution and transportation activity there, the City of San Bernardino does not have designated truck routes and is creating a system from scratch.
These studies present unique opportunities for CTA units and members to provide input on:
· The adequacy of existing and proposed truck routes.
· The need for new truck routes to service existing and future customers.
· Truck route safety, navigability, and efficiency issues.
