PLANNING - ONGOING PLANNING WORK

A TRANSPORTATION PLANNING BLUEPRINT

The Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) serves as the planning blueprint to guide transportation investments in Del Norte region involving local, State, and Federal funding over the next 20 years. Regional Transportation Plan guidelines require the RTP to be updated every 4 or 5 years. The last RTP was adopted in 2020. The 2024 RTP Update will be compliant with new standards set in the adopted 2023 Regional Transportation Plan Guidelines for Regional Transportation Planning Agencies.

The 2024 RTP Update will maintain and improve the quality of life for residents and visitors of the Del Norte region by guiding the development of a balanced, multi-modal transportation system. The team will analyze each component that makes up the entire transportation network in Del Norte County, including State highways, local roadways, access to recreation areas, bicycle and pedestrian facilities, public transit, goods movement, Intelligent Transportation Systems (including variable message sign boards and other electronic communications devices and methods), aviation and wayfinding.
