Title

2025 Regional Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy

Description

The 2025 RTP/SCS is the transportation element of the Lake Tahoe Regional Plan. Every four years, TRPA prepares a regional transportation plan that outlines the overall vision for developing, operating, and maintaining the Lake Tahoe Region transportation system. This 2025 RTP/SCS builds from the 2020 RTP/SCS to offer creative strategies that offset transportation impacts, including micro-mobility strategies such as e-bikes and e-scooters and new or enhanced inter-regional transit service. The 2025 RTP/SCS goals are organized around addressing the local community and Tahoe visitor’s transportation needs while meeting state and federal planning and reporting requirements. In addition, the 2025 RTP/SCS transportation improvements project list is an update of the 2020 RTP/SCS project list. As such it removes projects completed since 2020, modifies some projects that remain on the list, and adds new projects to the list. The purpose of the 2025 RTP/SCS is to provide a clear vision of the regional transportation goals, objectives, and policies in the Lake Tahoe Basin. The RTP provides short-term and long-term transportation strategies for implementation, which includes realistic and fiscally constrained alternatives. The purpose of the SCS is to demonstrate the integration of land use, housing, and transportation for the purpose of reducing GHG emissions from passenger vehicles. The 2025 RTP/SCS is an update to the current 2020 RTP/SCS adopted in May 2021. The 2025 RTP/SCS reflects minor changes that occurred since adoption of the 2020 RTP/SCS. The 2025 update to the 2020 RTP/SCS focuses on continued implementation of the 2020 RTP/SCS, with minor updates to policies, programs, and projects to ensure consistency with federal, State, and local planning requirements.
