STATE ROUTE 17 MULTIMODAL CORRIDOR PLAN
TO BE THE SUBJECT OF TWO UPCOMING WORKSHOPS
SANTA CRUZ AND SANTA CLARA COUNTY — Members of the public are cordially invited to learn more about the State Route (SR) 17 Comprehensive Multimodal Corridor Plan by participating in two upcoming virtual public workshops.
Caltrans Districts 4 and 5 are jointly developing the SR 17 Comprehensive Multimodal Corridor Plan that will address topics such as safety, reliability, and multimodal accessibility throughout the corridor. The plan will also have a focus on critical sustainability issues along the corridor, such as climate change resiliency, emergency management, and wildlife habitat connectivity. The plan will set a corridor vision and identify potential transportation improvements and resiliency strategies along the corridor.
The two virtual public meetings are scheduled for Thursday, Feb. 19 and Tuesday, Feb. 24 from 6 pm to 8 pm. Interpretation during the workshops will also be available in Spanish and Chinese.

Building on previous efforts, the SR 17 Plan seeks to:
- Work with communities to define a long-range vision for the corridor
- Advance goals outlined in the California Transportation Plan 2050 and Climate Action Plan for Transportation Infrastructure
- Support projects that integrate climate resiliency with mobility and safety improvements
We look forward to hearing your questions and listening to your experiences traveling on the SR 17 corridor.
