Final 2040 Regional Transportation Plan

As the transportation planning agency for Santa Cruz County, the Regional Transportation Commission (RTC) is responsible for developing, implementing, and regularly updating the Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) for Santa Cruz County. The RTP serves as our region’s long range transportation plan and provides guidance for decisions about transportation spending priorities.

The Final 2040 Santa Cruz County Regional Transportation Plan was approved at the June 14, 2018 RTC meeting. The draft 2040 RTP was available for public review and comment between December 8, 2017 and February 5, 2018, and a public hearing was held at the January 18, 2018 RTC meeting.
