MTP FOR THE TRI-COUNTY MONTEREY BAY REGION

The RTC coordinates the regional planning process with the Association of Monterey Bay Governments (AMBAG). The Santa Cruz County Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) is incorporated into the three county Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP) for the Monterey Bay area. The 2010 Metropolitan Transportation Plan, which incorporates the Santa Cruz, Monterey, and San Benito Counties’ RTPs can be viewed on the AMBAG website.

REGIONAL BLUEPRINT

The Association of Monterey Bay Area Governments (AMBAG), in collaboration with Regional Transportation Planning Agencies, such as the SCCRTC, local jurisdictions, and transportation agencies throughout the Monterey Bay Area have been developing a regional growth and conservation strategy called Envisioning the Monterey Bay Area.  This effort, otherwise known as the “Blueprint,” focuses on improved mobility, accessibility and coordinated transportation and local land use that houses the region’s future population but also preserves the most important agricultural lands and conservation areas.  A successful strategy will detail how the region will reduce Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) and greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) below trend through improved coordination between regional transportation and local land use planning. This coordination will facilitate changes in travel behavior. The Blueprint will use to help develop the next Regional and Metropolitan Transportation Plans.
