Document Description
The proposed project is the 2026 KCAG RTP/SCS, which will be an update to the 2022 RTP/SCS. KCAG, by state and federal mandate, is required to develop a comprehensive minimum 20-year plan for the region’s transportation system. The 2026 RTP/SCS will cover the planning period through the year 2049. The EIR is intended to comply with CEQA. It will also require coordination with or reference to: Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act the Federal Clean Air Act; the California Clean Air Act; California SB 375; California SB 743; California Assembly Bill 32, and California Senate Bill 32. The EIR will consider the 2026 RTP/SCS programmed projects and preferred SCS scenario, a No Project alternative, the SCS alternative scenarios carried forward, and any alternatives to address identified significant impacts. The EIR will evaluate the potential impacts of implementing the policies and programs in the RTP in accordance with CEQA and will concentrate on the long-term environmental impacts of the RTP/SCS that extend to the 2049 planning horizon.
The 2026 RTP/SCS EIR will be prepared as a program-level document that analyzes the effects of proposed actions for all modes of transportation, including other issues and concerns such as transportation control measures and demand management and intelligent transportation systems. As a Programmatic EIR, it will be prepared at a level of detail necessary to facilitate effective tiering by lead agencies for future transportation and development projects, particularly regarding potential SB 375 streamlining.
