Regional
Transportation
Plan
Update |
|
Santa Barbara County
Association of
Governments (SBCAG)
invites you to play a
role in updating the
blueprint for the
County’s transportation
systems for the next 20
years. Commonly known as
the Regional
Transportation Plan, or
RTP, it will define
long-term transportation
solutions that will meet
the challenges of growth
throughout the county
while protecting and
enhancing the
environment.
SBCAG conducted four
public workshops around
the county in October
2007 to gather ideas on
what important issues or
projects that need to be
examined. To see the
staff presentations,
that include questions
that you can answer,
select your region in
the county of particular
interest:
Lompoc Valley,
Santa Maria Valley,
South Coast, and
Santa Ynez Valley.
To provide SBCAG with
your input, use the
SBCAG Public Comment
Form, e-mail
Michael Powers,

SBCAG will issue a draft
Regional Transportation
Plan in 2008 that will
be accompanied by a
draft Environmental
Impact Report and will
be subject to public
review.
