Comments Due Nov. 27 on Transit Corridor Alternatives

The Santa Cruz County Regional Transportation Commission invites the public to provide input for Milestone 3 of the Transit Corridor Alternatives Analysis through an online public open house Nov. 6 through Nov. 27.

This year-long study is evaluating high-capacity public transit alternatives to provide an integrated transit network for Santa Cruz County using all or part of the Santa Cruz Branch Rail Line. Intercounty and interregional connections to Monterey, Gilroy, the San Francisco Bay Area and beyond will be considered.

Since June, the Regional Transportation Commission has been working to evaluate a short list of alternatives narrowed through a performance analysis. The results are now in and ready to be shared publicly.

To offer convenient participation while social distancing, RTC is hosting the open house where the public can review information and submit comments.

Two more opportunities to interact directly with the transit team will be available during live chat sessions on Thursday, Nov. 12, from 12-1:30 p.m. and Wednesday, Nov. 18, from 6-7:30 p.m.

The deadline to comment on the Transit Corridor is Nov. 27. To view details about the online public open house and live chat, visit www.sccrtc.org/transitcorridoraa.
