The Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority (VTA) has scheduled open houses for the Valley Transportation Plan (VTP 2030).
One is scheduled 6-8 p.m. Thursday, March 11, in the council chambers at Morgan Hill City Hall, 17555 Peak Ave. This location is served by VTA Bus Line 68.
As the Congestion Management Agency for Santa Clara County, VTA is developing the countywide long-range transportation plan, VTP 2030. This plan, updated every three years, is the foundation for the extensive array of transportation investments, services and programs that VTA and its partnering agencies will put into place over the future.
The VTP 2030 planning process presents an opportunity for VTA and the community to re-visit previously set transportation strategies and investment priorities and respond to changing conditions and community needs.
Based on community input, demographic travel forecasts, and financial projections for the next 30 years, VTP 2030 will establish priorities to:
• Improve the relationship between land use and transportation decisions
• Upgrade regional roadways
• Strengthen and expand the transit system
• Implement new technologies for transportation management
• Improve conditions of local streets, bike routes, and pedestrian facilities
Information and comments received during the open houses will be presented to the VTA Board of Directors at a March 19 workshop.
