Community-Based Transportation Plans
MTC’s Community-Based Transportation Plans (CBTPs) take a grass-roots approach to addressing transportation issues facing low-income communities around the Bay Area.
CBTP Overview
Community-Based Transportation Plans (CBTPs) bring local residents, community organizations and transportation agencies together to improve mobility options for low-income communities.
These community-led plans identify the most important transportation challenges in low-income neighborhoods and develop strategies to overcome them.
Findings help MTC and local policymakers make decisions on planning, funding and implementation.

Recent Plans
Sonoma County Transportation and Climate Authorities (SCTCA) and staff from the City of Santa Rosa, the City of Rohnert Park, and Sonoma County collaborated over the last year to develop two Community-Based Transportation Plans (CBTPs) for the South Santa Rosa Avenue and Central Rohnert Park areas. The project team worked with community members to identify transportation gaps, barriers, and issues in each area and developed a list of transportation projects and solutions to address them.
The CBTPs provide a list of solutions to support efforts by local agencies to pursue federal, state, regional, and local funds to implement the recommended projects and programs. To compete for funds, a project must be well-defined, included in local plans, and have community and public agency support. SCTCA will monitor and alert city and agency staff to new funding opportunities that could fund CBTP recommendations and will track progress on implementation.
