PCTPA Projects: Long Range Transit Plan

In 2005, the Placer County Transportation Planning Agency (PCTPA) concluded a series of short-range (five-year) transit plans for the five operators. A result of that effort was the conclusion that a longer-range study of future needs, resources, and opportunities would assist with both strategic policy planning and short-term decision-making. Over the next 25 years, local, regional, and state demographic and land use forecasts all point to extensive growth in south Placer County, and public service agencies - including transit operators - must be prepared to address ever-growing demand for their services.

The principal objective of preparing a Transit Master Plan for Placer County was to examine all aspects of transit service delivery and prepare consistent, coordinated vision for Placer County transit operators by addressing the following issues and objectives:

Long-Range service concept;
Vehicle maintenance needs and arrangements;
Capital needs and options (vehicles and facilities);
Technology upgrade/modernization issues and options;
Costs and funding options; and
Management and governance ("institutional") arrangements.

The outcome of the master planning process is a policy blueprint to guide planning for future transit service delivery, with a focus on coordination and integration opportunities in light of anticipated land use and demographic changes. The material in this report is not intended for and should not be used for detailed route planning or other short-term operational actions.
