Statewide Transit Strategic Plan
About the Project
The Caltrans Division of Rail and Mass Transportation is developing the 2017 Statewide Transit Strategic Plan in conjunction with the UCLA Institute of Transportation Studies. Public transit in California is at a critical juncture as the state aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 40% between 2030 in accordance with Senate Bill 32 (2016)and meet other state legislative and planning goals as technology-enabled innovative mobility bring change to the transportation system. Transit in California also operates amid an expanding landscape of personal mobility choices. The advent of Transportation Network Companies, not foreseen in the previous plan, brings new challenges and opportunities for transit in California. Additionally, an updated business plan for California High Speed Rail provides new information on a substantial statewide investment in intercity mobility that requires robust intracity transit connections. This 5-year update to the 2012 Statewide Transit Strategic Plan allows the state to prepare for the integration of urban and regional transit systems with the California High Speed Rail project.
The California Statewide Transit Strategic Plan is one of the modal plans under the umbrella of the California Transportation Plan 2040. The Statewide Transit Strategic Plan will highlight a sustainable transportation system that supports the outcomes of the California Transportation Plan, the California State Rail Plan, and the California State Bike and Pedestrian Plan.
