Staff Report

Over the next few months, Caltrans District 5 will host several online presentations featuring the Caltrans US 101 Business Plan during Metropolitan Planning Organization/Regional Transportation Planning Agency board meetings.

Caltrans is developing this business plan collaboratively with the Central Coast Coalition, which is working to increase awareness that this corridor is a major economic asset to California and the nation while encouraging highway investments. The plan, which focuses on Highway 101 throughout District 5, will provide the data, strategy and community support necessary to match corridor priorities with potential funding sources for the future implementation of projects.

The coalition membership includes the Santa Barbara County Association of Governments (SBCAG), San Luis Obispo Council of Governments (SLOCOG), Transportation Agency for Monterey County (TAMC), Council of San Benito County Governments (SBTCOG), Santa Cruz County Regional Transportation Commission (SCCRTC), Association of Monterey Bay Area Governments (AMBAG) and Caltrans District 5.

The public is invited to tune into each virtual meeting to view these presentations. Please consult the corresponding regional board’s address below for meeting log-in information at the following dates and times:
