Planning and Environmental Linkages (PEL)
The Future of State Route 37: Problems + Solutions
The future of the State Route (SR) 37 corridor demands finding solutions to chronic traffic congestion and periodic flooding. It also requires balancing transportation needs with protecting and enhancing sensitive marshland habitats. Planning a long-term solution presents an opportunity to provide bicycle, pedestrian, transit, and carpool options for all travelers. Caltrans is conducting a comprehensive, long-range Planning and Environmental Linkages (PEL) Study to identify the best solutions to address the corridor’s deficiencies.

One Corridor, One Team
Caltrans, the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC), and the transportation authorities for Marin, Napa, Solano, and Sonoma counties are working together on the PEL Study to identify and narrow the range of alternatives to be advanced for environmental review and construction. We are integrating previous studies and assessments conducted for the corridor while we continue to work to identify long term solutions. These studies are integrated to deliver a roadway that will serve both long-term transportation needs and the environment. Learn more about collaborative efforts for the SR 37 corridor by visiting Resilient 37 – Sonoma County Transportation Authority (ca.gov).
