9. Experience with Long Life Pavement Strategies
 District 8 has not used long life AC pavement strategies in the past
because of climatic conditions.
 Maintenance has proposed two projects for the long life strategy. They
are:
 SBD 015 30.8-42.5—from Hesperia overhead to north of Mojave Drive.
Rehabilitate existing mainline and ramp pavement. Estimated award is
11/2/2020.
 RIV 010 60.9-74.0—from Coachella Canal to Hazy Gulch Bridge.
Rehabilitate existing mainline, shoulder and ramp pavement. Estimated
award12/21/2024.

10. Funding
 The state gas tax is no longer able to generate enough money to fix all 50,000
miles of road in California.
 As cars become more fuel efficient, many drivers are paying less gas tax.
 On September 29, 2014, Governor Brown signed into law Senate Bill (SB) 1077,
which requires the State of California to design and implement a statewide pilot
program to study the implications of a road charge model no later than January
1, 2017.
 Pursuant to SB 1077, the California Transportation Commission (CTC), in
conjunction with the California State Transportation Agency (CalSTA), has
established a 15-member TAC that will ultimately study all aspects of road
charging, with an emphasis on certain mandated considerations such as privacy,
data security and a host of technology implications.

11. California Road Charge Pilot Program
 The California Road Charge Pilot Program is a multi-year endeavor that, at
its core, strives to engage the public in order to gain input and feedback.
 Pilot volunteers will not pay any out-of-pocket costs, and no money will
be exchanged during the pilot.
 If you would like to volunteer to participate in the program, visit
