CALTRANS LAUNCHES THE CALIFORNIA TRANSPORTATION PLAN 2035 WEB PORTAL

The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) announces the launch of a new interactive Web portal, www.californiatransportationplan2035.org, for the development of the California Transportation Plan 2035.  The plan is a statewide, long-range transportation plan that is updated every five years, and will be completed in September 2010.  It includes goals, policies, and strategies to achieve our collective vision for California’s future transportation system.

Public input into this plan is vital and the Web portal will be an easy one-stop location for Web users to receive information and provide feedback to Caltrans.  The site features continually updated information on the progress of the plan’s development, a calendar of events that will take place around the State, opinion polls, feature articles, and background information, including tools to help facilitate collaborative planning with other agencies. Web portal visitors will be able to search the site, sign up for automatic e-mail updates or RSS feeds, submit comments, and view the comments of other visitors.
