The report discusses the Division of Aeronautics and its responsibilities in fulfilling the State's role in aviation. The discussion delineates the relationship of Aeronautics with the other components of the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) and provides information regarding total activities of the Division. Goals and objectives are also discussed. Included in the report are short narratives or several individual parts of the National Transportation Study as it relates to aviation in California, comments on the 1972 Inventory and the 1990 Plan and a discussion on the sources of funds for aviation planning and development in California. The California Division of Highways presents 1972 Inventory, 1980 Program, 1990 Plan, and Narrative Report. The first 3 elements describe the transportation systems as of 1972, 1980 and 1990, respectively. The Narrative Report discusses policy, source of funds, and low and non-capital alternatives. The Division of Mass Transportation views the study as a means to evaluate the public transportation planning capabilities of the various regional agencies. Standards are being developed by the Division for public transportation levels of service. Standards will be available for subsequent studies. The application of the standards will depend upon subsequent State policies. The Department of Navigation and Ocean Development has exercised a coordinating role between CALTRANS, the Metropolitan Transportation Commission, and the Southern California Association of Governments in connection with the waterborne element of the National Transportation Study. The Department has not dealt directly with the ports in the study. California ports are solely instruments of local government and have traditionally operated independently and resistance to any suggestions of State or Federal involvement in port affairs, except insofar as the State of Federal Governments may be of financial assistance, can be expected. California ports are capable of supporting the present level of waterborne commerce and can readily be expanded to accommodate the volume of waterborne commerce projected for 1990. No California port, however, can accommodate super tankers or the largest bulk carriers. Offshore moorings will be increasingly used by the petroleum industry, together with existing port facilities. While channels at Los Angeles/Long Beach could be dredged to greater depths, the channels in San Francisco Bay cannot readily be dredged beyond the depths currently authorized.
