What unmet transit and/or specialized transportation services are needed in Santa Cruz County?
Each year the RTC and its E&D TAC develop a list of paratransit and transit needs. This “Unmet Transit and Paratransit Needs List” identifies transportation needs that have community support, but are not currently being met by the existing public transit system. While many transit needs cannot be met due to insufficient funding, the Unmet Needs List serves to highlight these needs for decision-makers and the public, as well as identifying the highest priority unmet needs. The list is drafted by the E&D TAC and is reviewed and adopted by the Regional Transportation Commission each year.
The 2021 Final Unmet Transit and Paratransit Needs List was adopted by the RTC at the May 2021 meeting and is expected to be updated following a public hearing at the May 2022 RTC board meeting. Public input on the Unmet Needs List can be submitted using the form below. Comments received will be considered in future updates.
Unmet Transit and Specialized Transportation Needs Input Form
We want to know if local transit (bus) or paratransit services are meeting your needs. As the regional transportation planning agency, the RTC is looking for comments and suggestions that will help improve specialized transportation in Santa Cruz County.
Accessibility & Compensation: The RTC will provide reasonable accommodations to assist members with disabilities to participate in virtual or in-person meetings. Note, while workgroup members can be reimbursed for travel expenses and some food will be available at in-person meetings, grant funding currently prevents the RTC from paying workgroup members to participate.
