SANTA CRUZ COUNTY
REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION

Regional Transportation Plan (RTP)

The Regional Transportation Plan is a state-mandated, long range planning document that serves as a blueprint to guide future transportation funding decisions. The RTP outlines transportation challenges and establishes investment priorities for all of Santa Cruz County. The plan includes lists of transit, highway, local road, bike, and pedestrian needs in the region and estimates the amount of local, state and federal dollars that may be available for these projects over the next 25 years. The plan is updated to reflect the latest funding and project needs every four to five years. The 2010 RTP ( a minor update of the 2005 RTP) is currently underway, with a major update that incorporates SB375 greenhouse gas emissions targets anticipated for adoption in 2012.
