One of the major planning responsibilities of the TCTC is the development of the Regional Transportation Plan (RTP). The RTP serves as the planning blueprint to guide transportation investments in Tehama County involving local, state and federal funding over the next twenty (20) years. Transportation improvements in the RTP are identified as short-range/constrained (2019-2029) or long-range/unconstrained (2030-2039).
A long-range planning document that acts as the basis for transportation planning in the region over a 20-year planning horizon, the RTP is a living document that is required to be updated every 4-5 years so that Tehama County maintains its eligibility for many of the State’s funding programs.
To submit questions or comments about the RTP, please reach out to Brittany White at brittany@greendottransportation.com.
