Regional transportation planning in California is a dynamic process. It involves the interaction of federal, state, regional, and local agencies and the consideration of multiple plans and programs. As the county’s state-designated Regional Transportation Planning Agency (RTPA), the Transportation Agency for Monterey County is tasked with developing a Regional Transportation Plan, or RTP, for the county to provide a sound basis for the allocation of state and federal transportation funds to transportation projects within the county over a long-range (up to 25-years) timeframe. This 25-year plan addresses all forms of transportation, and includes the priorities and actions embodied in the plans prepared by each of the county’s 12 cities and the County of Monterey.

The Plan follows guidelines established by the State of California's Transportation Commission (CTC) to:

• Describe the transportation issues and needs facing the county.

• Identify goals and policies for how the county will meet its needs.

• Identify the amount of money that will be available for needed projects.

• Include a list of prioritized transportation projects to serve the county’s long-term needs within the projected “budget” of transportation revenues with consideration towards environmental impacts, land use, and special transportation needs.

The latest Regional Transportation Plan for Monterey County was adopted by the TAMC Board of Directors in May of 2005. The 2005 Regional Transportation Plan and Environmental Impact Report (EIR) can be viewed by clicking on one of the links above.
