Geographic distribution is not a factor in selecting projects in the competitive ATP, but it will be looked at in evaluation of the program. I analyzed the distribution of 2014 ATP projects (in the statewide and small urban/rural components) among the twelve Caltrans Districts in a prior post. Here are other ways to look at how the program was distributed.

Urban / Rural

The classification of an area in the program is defined by its population:

  • Urban: Populations greater than 200,000.
  • Rural1: Populations of 200,000 or less.

Here’s how the applications came in:

Type # % Total $ %
Urban 626 81.2 847,319 83.1
Rural 145 18.8 170,528 16.7
  • #: Number of applications submitted
  • %: Number of applications submitted / Total number of applications received for first solicitation (771)2
  • Total $: Amount (in $1,000s) of request(s)
  • %: Amount of request(s) / Total request amount from applications received for first solicitation ($1,019,722)

Here’s how the components were programmed:

Statewide

Type # % Total $ %
Urban 113 89.7 170,101 92.5
Rural 12 9.5 11,867 6.5
  • #: Number of projects awarded
  • %: Number of projects awarded / Total number of projects awarded in statewide component (125)2
  • Total $: Amount (in $1,000s) awarded
  • %: Amount awarded / Total amount awarded in statewide component ($183,843,000)

Small Urban/Rural

Type # % Total $ %
Urban N/A N/A N/A N/A
Rural 22 100.0 37,005 100.0
  • #: Number of projects awarded
  • %: Number of projects awarded / Total number of projects awarded in small urban/rural component (22)
  • Total $: Amount (in $1,000s) awarded
  • %: Amount awarded / Total amount awarded in small urban/rural component ($37,005,000)

MPO

Update 9/8/14: Added clarification for table headers and corrected ubran project percentage (revised from 81.1 to 81.2).

  1. Small urbanized areas are included in this classification. 

  2. The State Technical Assistance Resource Center was not included in these tables.  2

  3. Project in non-MPO rural RTPA areas were designated as “Rural”. The State Technical Assistance Resource Center is inlcuded under “State”.
