PROJECT UNDERSTANDING & PROPOSED APPROACH
City of Ukiah Proposal forTruck Route Study
Truck Route Study | 1
TJKM Transportation Consultants (TJKM) is pleased submit our Proposal for the Truck Route Study to the City of
Ukiah.
PROJECT UNDERSTANDING AND PROPOSED APPROACH
Project Understanding
The City of Ukiah seeks to prepare a Truck Route Study aimed at optimizing transit corridors within the City. Through
the Study, the City envisions to define optimal truck routes aligning with the City’s commitment to multimodal
transportation and enhance safety for all modes of travelers. Under this Study, TJKM will identify specific routes, aiming
to integrate them into popular navigation Global Positioning System (GPS) services like Google and Apple. This Study
aims to align multimodal design principles with the practical needs of large trucks using Ukiah as a bypass. The goal
of the project is to prepare a comprehensive Study delineating the most efficient and City Council supported truck
routes through Ukiah.
Large trucks often utlize the City streets as a bypass
due to height restrictions on Caltrans freeway
overpasses. TJKM will use the available classification
counts on the identified truck route corridors in the
City and will supplement that data with new counts
at strategic locations. We also anticipate needing to
conduct limited license plate origin-destination
studies to document through truck movements.
TJKM will also map all commercial, transportation,
and industrial uses within the City’s sphere of
influence. This research is directed to defining the
demand for local and through truck movements in
the City.
To develop the minimum mileage of truck routes maintained by the City of Ukiah, it will require a careful review of the
land uses that generate significant truck movements, as well as the adequacy of the streets used as access roads for
those land uses. TJKM will make the assumption that through truck movements are not desired nor required on city
streets, but this assumption, too, will need to be examined and anticipated in the meetings with freight businesses
and the public.
TJKM will also evaluate the adequacy of the streets used by trucks in the City with respect to cross sections, pavement
conditions, intersection geometry, driveway access, abutting land uses (existing and planned), locations of schools,
and other generators of high pedestrian activity and collision rates. This portion of the Study will define the adequacy
of the streets used for truck movements.
TJKM will then review the information and analyses of the gathering portion of the study with respect to City policy
(both existing and proposed), and will define those streets where truck movements will not result in significant negative
impacts. TJKM will also review other routes needed by trucks where there are significant impacts that represent the
most difficult problem. It may be necessary to establish prohibitions on trucks on certain portions of the arterial
network to minimize the impacts of truck movements; in these instances, a reasonable alternative route will be defined,
also considering enforcement of the restrictions.
During the technical analysis, it is desirable that we meet with representatives of the freight industry to ensure that we
understand the full range of their needs. We will also need to meet with the public during this stage of the Study.
Truck Route Study | 2
Once the technical, freight industry, and public inputs
are in hand, we will then develop the potential truck
routes and regulations for further review. The draft
recommendations will be forwarded in an
Administrative Draft Truck Route Study for City staff
review. Once City staff has commented, TJKM will
develop the recommendations in a Draft Truck Route
Study to be presented at a Planning Commission
hearing. After the Planning Commission hearing,
TJKM will address all comments and make the
necessary revisions for submission of a Final Truck
Route Study to the City Council.
TJKM will pinpoint specific and most efficient truck
routes within the City that are supported by a City Council resolution and will also engage with navigation GPS services
like Google and Apple to incorporate these truck routes to ensure smooth flow of goods and services. The City may
consider to enact policies with regard to truck travel as a result of the conclusion and recommendations of the Study.
Approach
Below we have included our Approach to yourproject.
Task 1: Project Management
Task 1.1: Project Kick-Off Meeting
TJKM will develop agenda and materials for a kick-Off Meeting with City staff. The purpose of the meeting will be to:
Fine-tune project goals and objectives
Discuss and confirm critical data/issues that may influence the project
Prepare a work plan, including approach to be reviewed by stakeholders
Administrative items will be discussed such as communication protocol, meeting frequency, monthly progress
reporting, scheduling, invoicing, and other relevant project information. TJKM will prepare meeting materials including
agenda, sign-in sheets, presentations, related materials, and summarize meeting notes and action items.
Task 1.2: Project Team Meetings
TJKM will coordinate monthly Project Manager status meetings with City staff and any other identified Stakeholders
to ensure regular and consistent communication on upcoming tasks, identifying potential risks and challenges to
success. Participation in the monthly meetings is anticipated to include, at minimum, the City Project Manager and
TJKM’s Project Manager, Mr. Sandeep Paparaju. These meetings will provide the City assurance that the project remains
on schedule and within budget and that expectations are clearly defined and met. TJKM will develop the agenda and
prepare a summary of monthly meeting notes. The meeting notes will include a defined list of decisions, actions, and
responsible party.
Deliverables
Meeting agenda and minutes
Monthly Project Management status meeting and meeting notes, invoices, and progress reports

Truck Route Study | 3
Task 2: Data Collection
TJKM will obtain available traffic information, circulation element policies and maps, and aerial photos from the City.
Also, TJKM will request pavement management data from the engineering office, needed zoning maps of the study
area, and request the Regional Travel Demand Model from the City to assist our team in projecting future traffic
demands. TJKM will review in detail the recently completed downtown road diet and streetscape projects.
TJKM will also conduct necessary classification counts at up to five locations for at least 48 hours along existing
designated routes (data will be collected for both the a.m. and p.m. peak periods on weekdays). On the basis of the
classification counts, TJKM will develop and conduct a license plate origin-destination study of trucks for up to four
key routes where trucks may be bypassing highway or using City streets as shortcuts due to height restrictions on
freeway overpasses. All the existing data will be mapped in a GIS database and map format to facilitate retrieval and
analysis.
TJKM will also conduct field reviews of proposed truck routes and preferred local truck routes in the City, including
the review of cross section (using aerial photos), pavement management data, intersection geometry, signal phasing,
and accident data (SWITRS). Abutting land uses will be noted along each side and section of each route.
TJKM will analyze the data and information in terms of truck traffic in sensitive areas, accident rates involving trucks,
deficiencies in City street geometry and cross section to accommodate truck traffic, and other factors. To the extent
that trucks lead to additional operating problems, this will be fully documented in the Technical Memorandum.
All collected data and analysis will be documented in a Technical Memorandum to provide information regarding how
many trucks are moving through the study area each day on average, and which routes trucks are using to enter and
exit the study area.
Deliverables:
GIS project map with traffic, field review, zoning
and circulation element data and photos, and
identified truck generators, and forecasts (as
available)
Surveys of truck movements, volumes, and
origin-destinations
Travel time studies of regional and City study
routes used by trucks (seven)
Technical Memorandum: Base Traffic and Land
Use Data Related to Truck Routes
Task 3: Stakeholder Engagement Report
The goal of the City of Ukiah Truck Routes Study is to develop policy, regulatory and infrastructure recommendations
related to City’s existing transit system. To accomplish this goal, the TJKM Team will engage with key Stakeholders
including business, residents, and government agencies to identify best practices and challenges faced by the City and
to understand the effects and impacts of developing the proposed new truck routes on residents and businesses. The
overall purpose of this engagement will be to create a dialogue inclusive of different perspectives and insights to help
inform decision making throughout the Study process. During the Stakeholder engagement meetings, particular
emphasis will be given on the overpass exits to Ukiah from Highway 101, considering their importance in route
planning.
Truck Route Study | 4
The Study outreach process will include following components and elements at a minimum:
Freight Forums
Public Meetings
Study Website
Truck Industry Survey
Email Messaging
Study Newsletter
Municipal Survey
Collateral Materials
Deliverables:
Draft and Final Stakeholder Engagement Report
Task 4: Traffic Analysis Report
Under this task, TJKM will evaluate the existing conditions of the identified potential truck routes based on the
Stakeholder meetings. Typically, a truck route will utilize roads designed to accommodate a large number of vehicles,
through predominantly commercial and industrial corridors, and with stop/signal control at intersections with other
major routes. The analysis will be subject to mobility, efficiency, safety, pavement conditions, community impacts,
economic activity, and best practices and strategies. TJKM will identify the congestion points and areas of concern,
especially in specified overpass exits. TJKM will ensure that the identified truck routes do not pass through residential
areas and other areas with high concentration of pedestrians.
Deliverables:
Draft and Final Traffic Analysis Report
Task 5: Safety Assessment Report
TJKM will conduct collision analysis along the
existing truck routes in the City of Ukiah. TJKM will
use SWITRS database to identify crashes involving
trucks within the study area. All truck crashes that
involved more one or more trucks will be analyzed
within the study area, but the focus will be mainly in
the overpass exits to Ukiah from Highway 101. TJKM
will summarize the collision data based on severity
type and pavement condition. TJKM will identify
potential hazards and proposals for safety improvements.
Deliverables:
Draft and Final Safety Assessment Report
Task 6: Cost-Benefit Analysis Report
TJKM will conduct a Cost-Benefit Analysis of proposed alternative truck routes in the City of Ukiah. TJKM will review
and consider the recommendations from the recently completed downtown street projects. Additional focus will be
given on achieving the most effective and economical solution. In the estimates, TJKM will include additional operating
costs for truck trips due to changes in the provisions of the proposed Study. Operating costs will be calculated for
additional mileage and travel time over the “do nothing” alternative. Likewise, TJKM will document the added costs of
truck travel within the city based on having no truck restrictions. Such costs will include additional pavement and
maintenance costs, and additional accidents. Other considerations that are less tangible such as quality of life impacts
will also be documented in the planning document.
Deliverables:
Draft and Final Cost-Benefit Analysis Report
Truck Route Study | 5
Task 7: Route Optimization Recommendations
TJKM will use the information from the above tasks to formulate a truck route policy that minimizes the mileage of
city streets designated as truck routes. Truck routes will be designated only for routes serving land uses generating
significant truck volumes. The assumption we have is that no routes for through truck trips will be provided in the
downtown area.
TJKM staff have developed truck routes in other cities that also had similar provisions. For San Leandro, for example,
we asisted with the fact the city has both a local truck and through Truck Route Study. The reason for through trucks
in that city is that several of the city streets are state highways where trucks are permitted through state law and policy.
Enforcement of the local routes is done through service request. Trucks are stopped by police and the shipping
manifests are examined. If the trucker cannot show that he or she is delivering or picking up freight from a city location,
they are cited according to the city code. Similar provisions will be developed in the City of Ukiah policy to the extent
they are applicable.
TJKM will evaluate and recommend routes that do not impact sensitive uses, avoid city streets and intersections where
trucks will place an undue burden on the community in terms of capacity and safety, and where better, more direct
routes between the state highway system and truck-related uses in the City exist.
Deliverables:
Draft and Final Route Optimization Recommendation Report
Task 8: Community Outreach Report
TJKM will prepare a presentation which identifies the
findings and recommendations to be presented to the
local stakeholders, including businesses, residents. In
the presentation TJKM will focus on stakeholders in
the downtown areas and the other business areas who
will be impacted by proposed truck route changes.
TJKM will engage with businesses near each exit to
Ukiah from Highway 101, collecting feedback for
incorporation into the Final Study.
Deliverables:
Draft and Final Community Outreach Report
Task 9: Comprehensive Deliverables
The Truck Route Study, including both a map and policy, will be presented as a Administrative Draft Truck Route Study
for City staff review. After City review, TJKM will revise the Administrative Draft Truck Route Study in accord with staff
comments. The revised Draft Truck Route Study and Policies will be provded to the Planning Commission for their
review. TJKM will take the Planning Commission comments and revise the Truck Route Study and policy as necessary
for presentation to the City Council. TJKM will use the Planning Commission and City Council review of the Draft Truck
Study and policy to formulate a Final Proposed Truck Route Study and Policy for Planning Commission and City Council
adoption. The resulting Truck Route Study and policy will be a city ordinance and will become a part of the City Code.
Deliverables:

Project Management Approach
The TJKM Project Management Plan that will be used on these projects is
based on proven management, lessons learned and administrative systems
developed to enhance communication among the City of Ukiah, the TJKM
Project Manager and team members, and other affected agencies. This
management approach has been used successfully on numerous projects
throughout California. The TJKM Project Management Plan has the
following elements:
Work Plan - We will prepare a Work Plan upon receipt of a Notice-to-
Proceed with detailed work elements including definition of the
project, objectives, scope of services, staffing, budget, coordination,
schedule, deliverables, and monitoring/reporting procedures.
Coordination/Communication - The key to our success is an
integrated team approach. Our goal is "no surprises”. We will maintain
close and regular communication with your Project Manager in personal or via telephones scheduled conference
calls, emails, or meetings. Our firm strongly believes in the necessity and benefits of management with scheduled
monthly progress meetings to discuss issues, deliverables, status, products, invoicing items, problems encountered
that may affect schedule and budget. This will ensure clear communication and that our "no surprises" goal is
maintained.
Cost Control - Control of costs will be accomplished by monitoring on a task
level basis. This detailed task level will roll up into milestone and project
summary. Our accounting system is a "live" database that the manager can
access to determine the financial status at any time. Cost control reporting will
be implemented through the invoicing process with progress reports to relay
information on progress and critical issues.
Schedule Control - Establishing a schedule that meets the project objectives
is relatively easy, maintaining it during changing project priorities and unforeseen conditions is a challenge.
Frequent and effective communication your agency is needed to maintain the schedule and ensure a quality
product. The scope will be broken down by function and separated into tasks that will be linked logically and
sufficiently detailed to allow for realistic delivery of the project. Progress will be monitored by percent complete
for each task.
Quality Assurance/Quality Control Procedures – TJKM’s Quality Assurance
Procedures are utilized throughout the life of the Project. Quality Control starts
at the proposal and scope definition stage and continues through the
completion of all assignments. To assure that errors, omissions and ambiguities
in submittals and drawings are limited to an absolute minimum, the
responsibilities for technical review, peer review/coordination checking, and
technical audit functions are assigned to the appropriate TJKM Team members.
TJKM’s approach integrates the work of our subconsultants into the quality
control system through the use of established procedures and our peer
review/independent checking capability augmented with technical audits.

EXPERTISE
Data Collection
TJKM’s services include data collection utilized to augment
available databases. Many of our engineers and technicians
collect field data, including turning movement and volume
counts and reduce the information in a manner necessary.
Prior to initiating field data collection, TJKM will review each
potential inventory items with your agency to ensure there
is complete agreement on each component of the inventory.
By observing traffic conditions personally, we can then
determine the most effective strategies that will actually
work to improve operations rather than what may sound
good on paper. The data collected is then input into a
program, such as TRAFFIX, Synchro, or SimTraffic to develop
traffic count databases and traffic speed profiles using GPS technology.
Truck Route Study | 8
We analyze the data to determine if the amount of traffic data within the study area is acceptable to your agency’s
standards. TJKM has years of experience in crafting and implementing neighborhood and circulation plan studies that
take into account existing traffic count data in order to develop various short-term and long-term strategies to improve
traffic impacts on existing traffic circulation and other multimodal uses.
Stakeholder Engagement
TJKM has a combined total experience of about 70 years in
the area of stakeholder engagement, including involvement
in many meetings and hearings involving substantial areas of
conflict among the participants. On any given week, it is
common for many of TJKM’s staff to attend, present, and
answer project questions at city council or planning
commission meetings or at transportation committee
meetings related to our specific projects. We are comfortable
in this setting and skilled in presenting technical content
clearly and concisely for a non-technical audience. TJKM
regularly works with stakeholders committees and groups.
We have successfully conducted virtually and in person
Community and Stakeholder Engagement meetings on the Safety Projects we have successfully delivered.
We value a diversity of views by promoting public engagement and feedback. TJKM specializes in a variety of
community outreach methods and strategies to assist our plans and clients, including public workshops, focus groups,
hosting walking/biking tours, development of project websites for announcements and to elicit feedback, consent
building, pop-up events and tactical urbanism, and intercept and online surveys. Our team utilizes unique insights
from our experience to proactively identify and address potential concerns.
Traffic Analysis
TJKM has conducted corridor studies for significant
transportation projects along major arterials, state highways,
and freeways. Such studies analyze conditions for vehicular
traffic as well as bicycle and pedestrian facilities and transit
operations. These studies seek to identify the mix of
transportation improvements that would be most effective in
moving people and goods in specific travel corridors, and
balancing those improvements with available funding and
neighborhood and community concerns. When planning or
integrating multiple modes of transportation within a traffic
corridor shared by multiple modes of travel, it is important to know about the issues and concerns. TJKM has performed
numerous corridor studies that provided a balanced and comprehensive view of the project. We analyzed existing
conditions and identified deficiencies, opportunities, and constraints. As part of the analysis, we forecast population,
traffic, and land use changes to project future corridor use by different modes of transportation. We have assessed
traffic management under existing, near-term, and long-term future conditions and evaluated all the feasible or
proposed alternatives as well as provided recommendations.
Truck Route Study | 9
Our expertise includes developing Corridor System Management Plans that outline the multi-jurisdictional
management of a corridor experiencing delay due to congestion, with emphasis on operations and getting the most
of our existing infrastructure. We are highly skilled at analyzing existing and future traffic conditions and assessments
of performance measures within the corridor.
We develop innovative and feasible solutions regarding operational improvements, ITS strategies, and system
expansion projects to preserve or improve performance measures within the corridor.
Traffic Safety Analysis
The key to successful starting and completing a traffic safety
analysis is a clear and specific understanding of agency
priorities, goals, and expectations for the process. The first
issue that needs to be clearly and concisely resolved is the
availability of high-quality crash, traffic, roadway, and
environmental data. While crash data and traffic count data
is often readily available, your agency can also benefit from
detailed inventories of changes to the roadway infrastructure
that have occurred over the analysis years, and databases
and maps of terrain features and the location of signage,
safety equipment, and traffic control. The more data that is
available, the higher the resulting detail in crash type and risk
factor analysis will be. Field data collection is then utilized to augment available databases. TJKM’s approach to safety
analysis is based on the following general work flow:
Identify crash types associated with severe and fatal injuries based on system-wide collision data
Identify risk factors associated with severe crash types that can be used to identify and prioritize other high-risk
locations, regardless of location crash history
Identify low-cost countermeasures from the Caltrans Roadway Safety, that can be implemented at a large number
of locations where risk factors are present throughout the City transportation system in order to maximize the
safety investment return
Identify, map, and prioritize locations across the roadway network for implementation through Highway Safety
Improvement Program (HSIP) and other available funding mechanisms. TJKM regularly assists jurisdictions with
successful HSIP applications.
Cost-Benefit Analysis
TJKM have evaluated benefit cost analysis for truck route studies based
recommended or proposed truck routes. Our analysis if focused on achieving the
most effective and economical solution where recommended routes are not
expected impact sensitive uses and city streets where trucks will place an undue
burden on the community in terms of safety and capacity. TJKM has prepared plan
estimates for truck route studies by illustrating operating costs for truck trips due
to changes in the proposed route. Operating costs were calculated for additional
mileage and travel time over the “do nothing” scenario.
Truck Route Study | 10
Route Optimization
TJKM has completed many corridor studies and truck rerouting studies and provided valuable information and
assessment on current conditions of trucking and freight related infrastructure. TJKM has identified specific issues and
provided recommendations based on the agencies short and long term infrastructure needs, policy considerations,
and equity goals.
Community Outreach
TJKM specializes in a variety of community outreach
methods and strategies to assist our plans and clients,
including public workshops, focus groups, hosting
walking/biking tours, development of project websites for
announcements and to elicit feedback, and intercept and
online surveys. Our team will utilize unique insights from our
past experience to proactively identify and address potential
concerns. Building on those prior lessons learned, we will
work closely with stakeholders to develop alternatives that
meet safety and mobility goals while also supporting a
community-building approach.
Comprehensive Deliverables
TJKM has prepared documents for variety of traffic engineering and transportation planning project which have
demonstrated the findings including detailed maps and visual aids for clarity.
Organization Chart

EXPERIENCE AND REFERENCES
Below is a range of similar projects we have performed work on that show our general qualifications as it relates to
the proposed work.
TRUCK RESTRICTION PL AN DEVELOPMENT, SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, CA
Reference: Sam Bautista | City of South San Francisco | 315 Maple Avenue, South San Francisco, CA 94080 |
(650) 829-6668 | sam.bautista@ssf.net
TJKM analyzed trucks usage of city streets and suggested
specific roads to limit truck use and banned unnecessary
truck use of other streets in order to reduce noise and air
pollution and increase safety for pedestrians, especially
school children.
The City sought to control truck movements only to those
corridors necessary to serve freight-related needs of the
City as opposed to serving as bypass routes for the
congested regional and state highways and freeways.
Preliminary recommendations included that all non-
essential trucks weighing over three tons be restricted to
three specific routes, and designate four corridors as truck
routes for safe and easy access to various truck
destinations.
TJKM also recommended future actions including further
study of truck-related accidents, intersection geometry
related to accident rates and included actions in the City’s
capital improvement program.

TJKM was responsible for a comprehensive update to
Seaside’s Circulation Element incorporating complete
streets components, multimodal performance metrics,
revisions to citywide bikeway network, identification of
pedestrian priority focus areas, and related land use and
mobility projects. In addition to updating the Circulation
Element, TJKM’s tasks included travel demand modeling
and preparation of the General Plan environmental
impact report transportation analysis.
The Circulation Element update included a greater
emphasis on multimodal transportation, including
bicycle, motor vehicle, pedestrian, and transit circulation.
Key components included recommended changes to
street standards, and updated goals and policies for
vehicles, transit, bicycle and pedestrian facilities, and
freight. Key issues incorporated into the planning effort
included:
Complete streets goals, policies, performance
measures, and improvements (including potential
changes to the City’s functional street classifications
to account for non-motorized travel)
Revisions to the City’s bikeway network map
Provision of a pedestrian network map
Performance measures for assessing the transportation impacts of future development, consistent with Senate
Bill (SB) 743

TRAFFIC IMPACT STUDY REPORT: CONNECT MENLO GENERAL PLAN UPDATE & FACEBOOK
CAMPUS EXPANSION, MENLO PARK, CA
Reference: Justin Murphy | City of Menlo Park | 701 Laurel Street, Menlo Park, CA 94025 | (650) 330-6725 |
jicmvurphy@menlopark.org
TJKM developed a focused Menlo Park City Traffic Model (MPM) for the
purpose of General Plan Circulation Element Update. The MPM was
based on the latest City/County Association of Governments of San
Mateo County (C/CAG) Model. The same land use data category,
modeling technical assumptions, time of day, and regional origin-
destination travel patterns as in the current C/CAG model were
maintained in the MPM model to ensure consistency with the regional
forecasts. The zonal details in the Menlo Park city area was enhanced by
nesting within C/CAG Model refined Traffic Analysis Zones (TAZs) to
guarantee interoperability between the new TAZ structure and the
regional model TAZs. The network details of local streets in the study area
was enhanced based on the latest Metropolitan Transportation
Commission Travel Model Two network. The MPM model is suitable for
forecasting realistic peak hour traffic volumes, travel speed, and travel
time on local roadways and intersections due to future congestion within
the City boundary plus sphere of influence. The MPM can also produce
vehicle miles traveled information for the entire trip length required by
SB 743 guidelines because the trip generation, distribution, and mode
choice models were done at the regional scale.

CITYWIDE TRUCK ROUTE STUDY, CITRUS HEIGHTS, CA
Reference: Stuart Hodgkins | City of Citrus Heights | 6237 Fountain Square Drive, Citrus Heights, CA 95621 |
(916) 727-4770 | shodgkins@citrusheights.net
TJKM conducted a Citywide Truck Route Study in an effort to define the existing movements of trucks within the City
of Citrus Heights and develop policies to manage truck movements on City roadways. The primary goals and objectives
of this study were to:
Evaluate existing truck routing network utilized in the City of Citrus Heights
Identify truck routes to limit the impact of trucks in residential sections of the City
Reduce the overall volume of non-local truck traveling through the City
The City of Citrus Heights is located at a crossroads of north-south freight travel along Interstate 80 (I-80) that passes
through the City and is a major freeway that connects Sacramento to Reno, Nevada. Prior to TJKM’s study, there were
no posted truck routes on any of the major roadways within the City. However, trucks most frequently use Sunrise
Boulevard, Greenback Lane, Madison Avenue, Antelope Road, and Auburn Boulevard.
The study was necessitated due to a significant increase in truck traffic on streets within the City’s limits. Trucks
commonly bypassed traffic stopped on the freeways to avoid the weigh scale located on I-80 in response to recurring
congestion as well as to accidents. There were also many trucks that used the City streets to bypass the weigh scale
located on I-80, even though the trucks start their trips outside the City and end them beyond City limits.
All major corridors within the limits of Citrus Heights were considered for determining the final truck routes and TJKM
conducted an extensive analysis of all potential routes for adequacy and to the extent possible, to avoid congestion
and reduce accidents created by trucks in key travel corridors.
