Countywide Transportation Plan

The Countywide Transportation Plan (the Plan) provides overall direction for achieving a balanced and functional transportation system in Contra Costa County and coordinating land use decisions with transportation needs. It outlines the countywide vision for the future and provides goals, measurable objectives for performance monitoring, strategies, projects, and actions to achieve that vision. CCTA is updating the Plan to best reflect our current transportation needs and priorities. 

Draft CTP2050 Available for Public Review

On July 15, 2026, the CCTA Board approved the release of Draft CTP2050 for public review and comment. The draft reflects nearly two years of community and stakeholder input.

Following public review and completion of the environmental process, the final plan will return to the CCTA Board for consideration of adoption.

About CTP2050

CTP2050 provides overall direction for transportation throughout Contra Costa County. It coordinates transportation needs with land use and planned growth and will help guide future planning, funding decisions and project delivery.

The draft includes transportation goals and policies, strategies for improving how people and goods move, measurable ways to track progress, and a countywide list of proposed projects and programs. It will also help inform the Bay Area’s next long-range regional transportation plan.

The Plan will help identify how and where transportation investments in Contra Costa County should be prioritized. Community feedback will inform development of the Plan Update in addition to input from key stakeholders, advocacy groups, community-based organizations (CBOs), and non-governmental organizations (NGOs). CCTA anticipates publishing the Draft CTP in early 2026 and taking the Final Plan to the Authority Board for adoption in mid-2026. An Environmental Impact Report (EIR) will be prepared concurrently with the update for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

Community Input Shaped the Draft

CCTA kicked off engagement for the Plan in late 2024 with an online survey, a series of pop-up events, and stakeholder meetings. We heard strong support for the four guiding principles for the Plan: (1) Safe Travel, (2) Growing Sustainably, (3) Livable and Connected Neighborhoods, and (4) Access for All. 

Community members helped shape CTP2050 through online surveys, an interactive open house, community events, focus groups, stakeholder meetings and presentations.

Residents emphasized safer streets, stronger regional connections, reliable public transit and practical solutions to traffic congestion. That feedback helped CCTA refine the plan’s priorities, Transformative Visions and proposed policies.

County Subregion Action Plans

In early 2023, CCTA facilitated the completion of the five subregional Action Plans (see map below), which will be integrated into the CTP update. The Action Plans are intended to reduce the impact of new development on the county transportation system in compliance with the Measure J Growth Management Program (GMP), which requires local cities/towns and the County to participate in a cooperative land use and transportation planning process.
