AI Contract Overview

The 2026 Regional Transportation Plan and Sustainable Communities Strategy (RTP/SCS) is a long-range planning initiative led by the Stanislaus Council of Governments (StanCOG) to guide transportation improvements in Stanislaus County through 2049. This forecast project, categorized under NAICS code 541690, fulfills state and federal legal mandates and incorporates the Sustainable Communities Strategy to meet greenhouse gas emission requirements established by Senate Bill 375. The plan identifies specific transportation improvement projects and land use scenarios designed to reduce environmental impacts and meet air quality conformity standards. The project involves a comprehensive environmental review process under CEQA guidelines, including a Programmatic Environmental Impact Report (PEIR) developed with assistance from Rincon Consultants, Inc. This analysis addresses critical environmental factors such as air quality, biological and cultural resources, wildfire risks, and noise. The process includes a public review and comment period from July 10, 2026, to August 24, 2026, with public hearings scheduled for July and August 2026. Final adoption by StanCOG is expected in September 2026, followed by submission to state and federal agencies. Primary points of contact include Francisco Martin, Director of Planning at StanCOG, and Eric VonBerg, Supervising Planner at Rincon Consultants.

Full Description

The proposed project is the StanCOG 2026 RTP/SCS. StanCOGs previous RTP/SCS was adopted in August 2022 and amended in September 2024. The 2026 RTP/SCS is the culmination of a multi-year effort that aims to improve access and mobility and facilitate the movement of people and goods efficiently. Furthermore, the SCS will seek to balance land use and transportation systems to reduce emissions from cars and light trucks. StanCOG is required by federal law to develop an RTP/SCS that meets national ambient air quality standards and determines the needs of the transportation system and prioritizes proposed transportation projects. The RTP/SCS is also necessary to obtain and allocate federal funding for regional transportation projects. StanCOG is in the process of updating the RTP/SCS, which will cover the planning period through the year 2049. The EIR for the 2026 RTP/SCS is intended to comply with CEQA. It will also require coordination with or reference to the Fixing Americas Surface Transportation Act (Title 23 CFR Parts 450 and 500) (FAST Act), the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (as applicable), the Federal Clean Air Act, the California Clean Air Act, California SB 375, California SB 743, California Assembly Bill 32, and California SB 32. The EIR will consider the 2026 RTP programmed projects and preferred SCS scenario, a No Project alternative, and up to 2 alternative land use scenarios, and any alternatives to address identified significant impacts. The EIR will evaluate the potential impacts of implementing the policies and programs in the RTP/SCS in accordance with CEQA and will concentrate on the long-term environmental impacts of the RTP/SCS that extend to the 2049 planning horizon.
