Public Comments Sought On Transportation Plan For Santa Cruz Co.

SANTA CRUZ COUNTY, CA — If you're concerned about traffic and transportation issues in Santa Cruz County, you might want to check out the Santa Cruz County Regional Transportation Commission's "Draft 2019 Public Participation Plan." The document was released Friday and it's designed to establish the process by which the public can participate in transportation planning, programming and project implementation.

Officials are asking the public to weigh in on the plan that is federally required to be updated and approved every four years. Once approved by the RTC, the 2019 Public Participation Plan will play a key role in the public outreach strategy for the development of the 2045 Santa Cruz County Regional Transportation Plan.

If you would like more information about the process or the plan, the RTC will hold a 9:30 a.m. public hearing Aug. 1 at the Scotts Valley City Council Chambers, 1 Civic Center Dr., Scotts Valley.

If you would like to submit comments on the Draft 2019 Public Participation Plan, you can send by mail to P.O. Box 2453, Seaside, CA 93955; email them to svienna@ambag.org; or send via fax to (831) 883-3755. All comments must be received by Aug. 28, 2019.
