Planning

The Regional Transportation Plan sets regional priorities for all modes of transportation over a minimum 20-year horizon, and addresses related issues such as land use, air quality, and environmental impacts.

In partnership with local agencies and Caltrans, SRTA studies specific corridors and key locations to evaluate safety concerns and develop project alternatives that address current and future transportation needs.

Traffic impact fees are one-time payments from developers toward the cost of roads needed to serve their development. SRTA periodically studies expected growth in an area to help set these fees.

Bicycling and walking are treated as primary travel modes, not optional alternatives. SRTA plans for active transportation facilities that are safe, accessible, and connected across the region.

Performance measures show how well SRTA's policies, programs, and strategies are meeting regional transportation goals. SRTA monitors the system's performance and sets targets for improvement.

As vehicle manufacturers shift toward alternative fuels like battery-electric and hydrogen, SRTA plans for the charging and fueling infrastructure the region will need to support them.
