Office of Transit Planning
The Office of Transit Planning works closely with over 300 local transit operators across California, helping to plan, fund, and support the state's transit systems. While Caltrans doesn't directly operate transit, we play a key role in coordinating projects and funding as well as promoting policies that align with statewide goals. By fostering collaboration among transit agencies and advocating for a world-class transit network, Caltrans is ensuring the development of a unified, equitable, high quality & sustainable transit program for all.
Caltrans Director's Transit Policy
The Caltrans Director’s Transit Policy will serve as a high-level guide that outlines the Department’s commitment to supporting public transit on the State Highway System. The policy encourages flexible, context-sensitive solutions to better connect and improve transit options for people of all ages and abilities. Where feasible, Caltrans will integrate public transit features within highway projects to strengthen transit networks across the state. To put the policy into action, Caltrans is also developing an implementation plan with specific steps and strategies. This plan will be informed by input from partners and stakeholders and is expected to be released in summer 2026.
