Countywide Transportation Plan
The Countywide Comprehensive Transportation Plan, or CTP, is one of the key planning tools called for the Measure C Growth Management Program (GMP). Specifically, Measure C requires the Contra Costa Transportation Authority to:
Support efforts to develop and maintain an ongoing planning process with the cities and the county through the funding and development of a Comprehensive Transportation Plan.
The Authority adopted its first Countywide Plan in 1995. The first major update to the Plan was adopted in July 2000. The second major update, which helped define the Measure J Expenditure Plan and GMP, was adopted in May 2004. Currently, a 2008 CTP is underway.
The CTP is intended to provide the overall direction and a coordinated approach for achieving and maintaining a balanced and functional transportation system within Contra Costa while strengthening links between land use decisions and transportation. It outlines the Authority's vision for Contra Costa and it establishes goals, strategies, specific projects, and other actions for achieving that vision.
The Authority has begun the process for preparing the 2008 CTP, which is expected to be adopted in late 2008.
