Regional and Community Planning
The Office of Regional and Community Planning (ORCP) guides, maintains, and advocates for California's regional transportation planning process and ensures federal and state legislation, policies, and priorities are met. ORCP's goal is to identify and exceed customer expectations, maximize the use of resources, and provide additional training and support as needed.
ORCP works continuously and cooperatively with the twelve Caltrans districts, Metropolitan Planning Organizations, Regional Transportation Planning Agencies, and other transportation partners.
