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.
