Pacific Coast Highway (PCH) is one of Orange County's most iconic highways. Directly adjacent
to the Pacific Ocean, it traverses beautiful downtowns. open space, as well as, urban centers.
PCH is also the corridor that links Orange County's six coastal cities —Seal Beach, Huntington
Beach, Newport Beach, Laguna Beach, Dana Point, and San Clemente.
Corridor residents and visitors frequently use multiple modes (vehicles, transit, walking, and
bicycling) to travel to and from their activities in and around the corridor. Non -motorized modes
such as walking and bicycling serve greater numbers of travelers in this corridor than in most
other areas of Orange County. However, all of these diverse travel interactions occurring in an
extremely tight right-of-way (ROW), put daily strain on this aging 37-mile long corridor.
As a result, the six Orange County coastal cities, requested that the Orange County Transportation
Authority (OCTA) and the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) conduct a PCH
Corridor Study extending from the Los Angeles County line (in Seal Beach) to Avenida Pico

Corridor -wide Needs
The PCH Corridor Study identified corridor -wide and subarea issues, opportunities, and constraints based
on existing and future conditions analysis and input from agency representatives. This formulated the specific
Needs and Objectives for the corridor, as well as, for each subarea to be used as the basis for identifying and
recommending potential improvements.
1 Safety conflicts between
■ vehicles, bicycles, and
pedestrians
4 High volumes of visitors and
■ recreational users leading to
unique travel patterns and
peaking characteristics
2 High travel time and delay
■ due to traffic congestion and
heavy volumes of pedestrians
crossing the highway
5 Inconsistent aesthetic
■ treatment of improvements
compared to the scenic
character of the corridor
3 Constrained ROW resulting
■ in limited improvement
opportunities
6 Frequent interruption and
■ closures due to events and
incidents resulting in limited
parallel options
3
CORRIDOR -WIDE
Corridor -wide Purpose
(Objectives)
• Improve safety by reducing potential for
conflicts between modes;
• Improve mobility by reducing traffic
congestion and traveler delay, improving
the continuity of traffic flow, and making it
more convenient for people to travel without
needing an automobile;
• Creating a more pleasant corridor
experience by encouraging aesthetic
enhancements as part of corridor
improvement projects;
• Better accommodating the unique travel
characteristics associated with the corridor's
coastal location;
• Develop cost-effective and feasible
improvement options.

Coastal Access and On -Street Parking:
The California Coastal Commission
(CCC) has determined the removal of on -
street public parking in the coastal zone
constitutes a reduction of public access to
the coast. Because the study recommends
developing bike lanes in place of existing on -
street parking, the CCC would require the
replacement of public parking nearby. Since
adjacent areas are either fully developed or
public beaches, collaboration between the
coastal cities, Caltrans, OCTA, and the CCC
is needed to develop innovative approaches
for on -street parking relocation that result in
improved overall coastal access for users of
all modes.

Funding
The following matrix presents potential sources of funding for the various project improvements identified through
the corridor study. Given the noted eligibility conditions, project sponsors are encouraged to take an integrated,
holistic approach to defining the projects, to incorporate multiple improvements and qualify for the broadest possible
range of funding programs.
