BACKGROUND
The California Energy Commission has set aside funds for a statewide program to
maximize the efficiency of traffic signal systems in the State. This program,
administered by. the California. Department of Transportation (Caltrans), is
called the Fuel -Efficient Traffic Signal Management (FETSIM) Grant Program. It
provides funds to cities and counties to study,. evaluate and revise the
coordinated traffic signal timing within their jurisdictions.
The City of Santa Clarita has several interconnected signal systems which would
be eligible for funding in the FETSIM program. The systems include 47 traffic
signals .on Valencia Boulevard, McBean Parkway, Soledad Canyon Road, Seco Canyon
Road and Whites. Canyon Road. Improved traffic signal coordination could
significantly reduce travel delays on these major routes.
The proposed FETSIM project has a total budget of $65,800, with a local share of
$160500 (25 percent of the total). The local share funds have been budgeted for
Fiscal Year 1990-91 as a part of signal synchronization projects for Soledad
Canyon Road and.Lyons Avenue. These funds are available for this project.
Authorization is requested to apply to the California Department of
Transportation for FETSIM Grant funds. The program will begin in the latter
part of this year and end in the Fall of 1991. Attached for your information is
a copy of the grant application.
