The SHOPP is supported by state and federal taxes and fees on vehicle fuels. These projects are all part of Caltrans' fix-it-first program, known as the SHOPP (State Highway Operation and Protection Program). The TAMP and SHSMP articulate performance targets established by federal and state legislation and action by the California Transportation Commission (Commission). These two plans, founded on principles of performance management, form the basis to prioritize projects based on their contribution to the overall health of SHS and its many component parts. The Project Book is a natural extension of Caltrans' asset management framework, presented in the TAMP and implemented with the State Highway System Management Plan (SHSMP). The TAMP articulates performance targets established by legislation and action by the California Transportation Commission (Commission). The Project Book is a natural extension of the recently adopted California Transportation Asset Management Plan (TAMP), which prioritizes projects based on their contribution to the overall health of the SHS and its many components. It provides a list of the individual projects needed to restore the SHS to a condition that meets the performance targets enshrined into law through the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017 (SB 1). This Ten-Year Project Book (Project Book) shows how Caltrans will make that happen. By the end of 2027, the State Highway System (SHS) should be in much better shape than it is today. Over the coming decade, the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) will undertake the most ambitious highway repair program the state has seen in generations. State Highway Operation and Protection Program (SHOPP) Ten-Year Project Book Upon completion of formal project planning, projects are ready for programming and fiscal commitment by the California Transportation Commission. Formal project planning is the optimum time for stakeholder engagement because the scope of the project is being developed at this time. Projects in the conceptual phase or formal project planning are in the process of determining scope, costs and schedule.

Projects move from the conceptual stage to formal project planning 5-6 years before planned construction. These needs are bundled together into conceptual projects between 7 -10 years before construction. SHOPP project development begins with the identification of individual transportation needs.
