Safe Routes to School Prioritization Tool (2020) The function of the Regional SR2S Prioritization Tool is to collect objective information that illustrates each school’s need, resources, and readiness for engaging in a project or program for Safe Routes to School. We have collected information on school demographics, fitness levels, and transportation infrastructure. We have compiled this information in the “school inventory,” and we have assigned values (weights) to the criteria as a means to measure how poised schools are for SR2S and for applying for highly and increasingly competitive grant funds. |

Coordinated Public Transportation Plan: Humboldt County (2021) This document is an update to the 2016 amended Coordinated Public Transit – Human Services Transportation Plan for Humboldt County. Coordinated transportation is essential to keep people linked to social networks, employment, healthcare, education, social services, and recreation. Having access to reliable transportation can present a challenge to vulnerable populations, such as seniors, people with disabilities, and low-income individuals. For these groups, a coordinated transportation plan is necessary to improve access, efficiency, and promote independence. |

North Coast US 101 Corridor Intercity Bus Consolidation Study (July 2023) Intercity bus service is critical to meeting the State’s goals to reduce vehicle miles traveled (VMT) and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and provide mobility to all Californians. The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) Division of Rail and Mass Transportation (DRMT) is advancing a vision to provide meaningful public transportation access to all parts of the state through the California State Rail Plan and California Intercity Bus Study (CIBS). Intercity bus service is a key element of this vision, providing access to locations that have limited or no rail service available. California’s North Coast US 101 corridor, defined for this report as the 300-mile corridor from Santa Rosa to Crescent City, is one of the largest and most populated corridors in the state that will not be directly served by intercity passenger rail service in the foreseeable future. Rail service currently terminates at Sonoma County Airport, just north of Santa Rosa, and will reach approximately 30 miles further north to Cloverdale in the Long Term Vision of the 2022 State Rail Plan. Thus, providing coordinated, convenient, and efficient bus service along the corridor will be important to keeping this region connected to the rest of the state. |
