Really important about car insurance

        There are many people who do not understand the importance of purchasing car insurance. Mostly, they question, “Why do we need that?” Actually the answer of it is easy; because we have a car. Car insurance is indeed protecting your car. That also means it protect your financial and savings for a great loss. It is true that every driver should drive well; still, accidents cannot be avoided. There have been many cases in which one encounters accident simply because of others’ reckless. This is what is protected by the car insurance. It obviously guarantees and pays the very loss that you have to pay to get your car fixed.

 The really important matter about car insurance is, that in case bad thing happens to you, you will get helped or coverage from the insurance company in paying the bill of the fix. This means, it may decrease your outcome in dealing with the unexpected things especially one which are not caused by your reckless. Moreover, sometimes the bad things that happen to you also affect the other things. For example, one broke your rear-view mirror, thus, you should buy it with your own bucks. However, if you have car insurance, you will not do.

Solano County planners to discuss Highway 12 economic analysis

A new study leaves little doubt that Highway 12 improvements could drive a significant economic engine for communities along the corridor.

The Solano Transportation Authority commissioned the Solano Economic Development Corporation (SEDCORP) to examine various improvement scenarios along Highway 12 and their impacts on local economies.

The Solano Transportation Authority board will discuss a draft of the report beginning at 6 p.m. Wednesday at Suisun City Hall, 701 Civic Center Drive.

A main objective is to take an innovative approach to planning highway improvements, SEDCORP President Sandy Person said.

In usual circumstances, an economic analysis is done after a project has been developed, Person said. The report attempts to look at economic improvements before a project has been developed, she added.

"This gives us a head start on goals-setting and land-use planning and other steps," she said.

Currently, the Highway 12 corridor -- from the Lodi airport to Highway 29 in Vallejo -- represents $10.7 billion in revenues to all businesses, households and governments, according to the report's draft summary.

Even minimum improvements to Highway 12 -- many which are being done now for safety reasons -- will boost the region's employment, revenues and worker income, according to the summary.

More extensive improvements, such as wider shoulders, more passing lanes and better intersections, would bolster economic benefits even more.

The maximum improvement scenario looks at economic impacts by widening the corridor to a four-lane divided highway with significant intersection improvements.

This latter scenario would create 7,609 new jobs, result in more housing, and increase sales and property taxes by $42.2 million, according to the summary.

Numerous Solano communities are grappling with the need for greater Highway 12 improvements, Solano Transportation Authority Director of Planning Robert Macaulay said.

Some of those include safer and wider shoulders east of Rio Vista, a new intersection at Bird's Landing, and replacement of the Rio Vista Bridge. No funding has been found for any of these projects.

Highway 12 economic study to be released Thursday in Rio Vista

Posted: 06/27/2012 01:01:16 AM PDT

A study that takes a look at Highway 12 improvements from an economic standpoint will be released 6 p.m. Thursday at a workshop in Rio Vista.
The Solano Economic Development Corporation and the Solano Transportation Authority conducted the study.

It is designed to evaluate the potential economic benefits and needs of the corridor from Lodi through Napa, and preliminary results were discussed at a breakfast meeting earlier this year.

The Rio Vista presentation will take place at the D.H. White Elementary School multipurpose room, 500 Elm Way.

Consultant Economist Robert Fountain of Benicia is expected to talk about the economic effects of widening Highway 12 to handle more cars and provide better efficiency.

The corridor in Solano County faces significant challenges, particularly in Rio Vista, where replacement of the Rio Vista Bridge has been identified as a big need.

The current study does not include Vallejo, though the city will see some impacts from Highway 12 improvements, planners have said.

FAIRFIELD — Improving Highway 12 through Solano County and the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta should boost regional business activity that already tops $6 billion annually, according to a new study.

How much ranges from 3 percent to 10 percent, depending on the amount of improvements. Widening Highway 12 to four lanes would generate more job and housing growth than a more modest approach of making only safety improvements to two-lane segments of the highway, the study found.

The Solano Economic Development Corp. prepared the draft Highway 12 Corridor Economic Analysis for the Solano Transportation Authority. Robert Fountain of Regional Economic Consulting did the analysis.
Fountain and the Solano EDC will conduct a workshop on the study at 6 p.m. Thursday at D.H. White Elementary School in Rio Vista.

Study findings are just one more factor for local, regional and state officials to consider when planning a future for Highway 12. Others include the cost of the improvements and environmental factors.

“We have a game plan for the Interstate 80 corridor,” Solano Transportation Authority Executive Director Daryl Halls said Wednesday. “Highway 12, we’re still having that conversation.”

The draft study begins by looking at existing economic conditions along 52 miles of Highway 12 from Highway 29 in Napa County to east of Interstate 5 near the Lodi airport. It measures economic activity generated by businesses, governments and households within ZIP codes along the highway and comes up with a gross regional product of $6.4 billion.

Manufacturing and food processing is the biggest economic sector. This includes everything from the Budweiser brewery in Fairfield to General Foods in Lodi to wineries to farms. Next comes government employment, which ranges from Travis Air Force Base to Solano County government to schools to the cities of Fairfield, Suisun City, Rio Vista, Isleton and Lodi.

The Highway 12 corridor as measured by the study is home to 161,707 people and 67,145 jobs.

One possibility for the future Highway 12 is to keep it two lanes in rural areas and make improvements only for safety, not capacity. This would add $183 million to the gross regional product, or a 2.9 percent increase, the study estimated. It would add 1,193 jobs and 965 households.

Another possibility is to improve traffic flow on Highway 12 by adding more passing lanes and improving key intersections. This approach adds $332 million in economic activity for a 5.2 percent boost. It adds 2,286 jobs and 1,849 households.

Finally, all of Highway 12 could be widened to four lanes from Suisun City east through the Delta to Interstate 5 near Lodi. This adds $623 million in economic activity for a 9.7 percent boost. It adds 7,609 jobs and 6,154 households, according to the draft study.

The economic study is to go to the Solano Transportation Authority Board of Directors on July 11.
Other, already completed Highway 12 studies look at possible, new Rio Vista Bridge alignments and traffic issues. Solano Transportation Authority Director of Planning Robert Macaulay said the studies are in “silos,” each focusing on their own particular subjects.

“Now we go all into the one big area where we don’t have the walls that divide these studies anymore,” Macaulay said.

That work of synthesizing the various studies will likely take place before the Solano Transportation Authority’s State Route 12 Steering Committee, which has Solano County representatives, and the State Route 12 Corridor Advisory Committee, which includes representatives from other counties as well.

Solano EDC mulls benefits of Highway 12

By Melissa Murphy/ MMurphy@TheReporter.comthereporter.com

The "lifeblood" that is Highway 12 is under much scrutiny as it is closely evaluated for the potential economic benefits to the region.

Running from Lodi through Solano County to Napa, the highway is a major "vein" of transportation. Major safety improvements have been made along the corridor and possible structural improvements are being studied.

The Solano Economic Development Corporation was hired by the Solano Transportation Authority to complete an economic analysis of the Highway 12 corridor before major studies are completed.

Consultant Robert Fountain with Regional Economics Consulting addressed an audience of about 30 people gathered Thursday night in Rio Vista for a community outreach workshop. The highway runs through the city.

He explained that an analysis like the one conducted by Solano EDC is almost never done.

"This is done in the right order, where the economics is first," he said.

He said the study has already been an eye opener, revealing just how much traffic is on the highway. He said some larger highways in the state see significantly less traffic than the two-lane road.

The study has also shown that, unfortunately, the highway isn't doing much for Rio Vista, as trucks hauling goods pass through the small city without stopping. Instead, the city's revenue is heavily determined by the natural gas industry.

Fountain also noted that the money isn't in agriculture but rather food processing.

"This study is informing you of the economic choices," said Sandy Person, president of Solano EDC. "We're here out of respect to Rio Vista. You've been active and vocal and we want your voices heard throughout this process. The project will be defined by community participation."

Consultants developed three scenarios for consideration:

* Minimum improvement: This scenario includes safety improvements with little capacity enhancement;

* Middle improvement: This scenario includes a slight change in the number of lanes in key traffic areas; and
* Maximum improvement: This scenario is a four-lane divided highway, two lanes on each side with a median and extensive improvements of intersections and access areas.

All scenarios would add to the gross regional product and add to revenues, however, the maximum-improvement scenario would add $622.9 million to the gross regional product and $1.1 billion to the region's revenues.

How the bridge over the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta on Highway 12 will improve with the rest of the roadway also is unknown at this point, according to the consultants.

The presentations during the workshop are available online at www.solanoedc.org.

Residents are also asked to answer a couple of questions: What are your top priorities for the development of the corridor and Rio Vista and, if the economy expands, what improvements/amenities/investments do you think Rio Vista and/or the state should consider first?
