Multi-Modal Projects

Committed to all modes of travel

For four decades, the RTC has demonstrated a commitment to building and maintaining a transportation infrastructure that provides the public with a wide range of travel mode choices  in Santa Cruz County. From investments in bike lanes and bike parking, to support for transit and paratransit projects, from funding for park and ride lots to purchasing the rail line, multi-modal projects are a key component of the transportation system that the RTC has envisioned and helped manifest in Santa Cruz County.

However, simply having good multi-modal facilities and options is not enough. People need to know what choices are available and how to access them. That’s one reason why the RTC offers traveler information services through its Commute Solutions program that help people navigate and use the transportation system. Transportation consultants provide personalized trip planning and support to help people find the best bus or bike route, a carpool partner, or a bike or walking buddy.

Climate change, an interest in health and wellness, fluctuating gas prices, and the lingering economic recession are creating new interest and support for ensuring that people have lots of ways to access the things they want and need and that they have good reliable information about their choices. True to its legacy, the RTC continues to invest  in innovative multi-modal projects such as the current projects listed below.
