Regional Framework for Collaboration
• Federal and State levels provide funding and guidance
• Local level makes land use decisions• Community level provides public input on
needs and desires• Regions have transportation planning
process, corridor and landscape scale vantage point, framework for convening stakeholders
Regional Transportation Planning Process
• Transportation planning examines current and future transportation trends and identifies transportation solutions
• Regional Transportation Plans for 20-year horizon
• The planning process aids in investment decision making with many demands on limited resources
CaliforniaRegional Blueprint Planning Program
• Linking land use, transportation, housing, environment, economic development, equity
• Consensus on preferred growth scenario - “Blueprint” - for each region identifies transportation impacts of land use
• A more efficient and effective transportation system
• Sufficient housing supply to accommodate population growth in each region
New From SAFETEA-LU
• State and local environmental agencies must be consulted during the development of the RTP.
• RTPs must address potential environmental mitigation activities.
• RTPs must be consistent with planned growth and economic development patterns.
Future Collaborative Planning
• Build on Regional Blueprint Plans
• Plan for environment and mobility
• Incorporate land use decisionmakers in regional planning
• Seek innovative partnerships with resource and permitting agencies
• Use new data tools in planning and public participation
• Explore innovative mitigation
• Green infrastructure in land use planning
