2050 Metropolitan Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy and 2050 Regional Transportation Plans for San Benito, Santa Cruz, and Monterey Counties

The Transportation Agency for Monterey County is implementing the 2050 Regional Transportation Plan (RTP), which is integrated into the 2050 Metropolitan Transportation Plan and Sustainable Communities Strategy (MTP/SCS). This initiative serves as the guiding framework for the development of transportation projects and programs across Monterey County, with additional planning scope extending to San Benito and Santa Cruz Counties. The project is supported by an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) that ensures compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). A Notice of Determination was filed certifying that the project was approved on June 24, 2026, following the completion of the Final EIR. The project is categorized under NAICS code 541330 for engineering services and is performed within the state of California. Key administrative oversight is provided by Mike Zeller, Director of Programming and Project Delivery, and Heather Adamson, Director of Planning. While the current documentation focuses on environmental certification and forecast metadata, it establishes the regulatory and strategic foundation for regional transportation development through 2050.
