Long Range Plan (RTP)

|||||||||||||||
| Regional transportation planning in California is a dynamic process. It involves the interaction of federal, state, regional, and local agencies and the consideration of multiple plans and programs. As the county’s state-designated Regional Transportation Planning Agency (RTPA), the Transportation Agency for Monterey County is tasked with developing a Regional Transportation Plan, or RTP, for the county to provide a sound basis for the allocation of state and federal transportation funds to transportation projects within the county over a long-range (up to 25-years) timeframe. This 25-year plan addresses all forms of transportation, and includes the priorities and actions embodied in the plans prepared by each of the county’s 12 cities and the County of Monterey. |

• Describe the transportation issues and needs facing the county. |

• Identify goals and policies for how the county will meet its needs. |

• Include a list of prioritized transportation projects to serve the county’s long-term needs within the projected “budget” of transportation revenues with consideration towards environmental impacts, land use, and special transportation needs. |
