Funded by a Community Based Transportation Planning Grant, MCOG sponsored this project. Partners included Caltrans District 1, Laytonville Area Municipal Advisory Council (LAMAC), County of Mendocino, Local Government Commission, Cahto Tribe, and a professional design team.

The Regional Transportation Plan (RTP)

MCOG has completed the Final 2005 RTP, adopted by the Board of Directors on December 5, 2005. A public outreach effort was conducted, with the final opportunity for public comment prior to adoption at the public hearing on December 5. Workshops were offered in October 2004, as well as briefings to the City Councils and Board of Supervisors at their regular public meetings. Two more workshops, one inland and one on the coast, were offered in August 2005 to take comments on the Draft 2005 RTP. MCOG will continue to accept comments, although the next update will likely be adopted in 2010. Typically the RTP is updated every four to five years.

We invite you to review the Final 2005 RTP (see more links below). Comments may be submitted by email to Nephele Barrett, Associate Planner, or by mail to MCOG at 367 N. State Street, Suite 206, Ukiah, CA 95482. Public comments are welcome also at MCOG's Board meetings; find our Board calendar under "Meetings" on this site.

Environmental Impact Report (EIR):

In 2001, with the first major rewrite of the RTP in many years, MCOG for the first time was required to prepare an Environmental Impact Report of the plan itself, referred to as a "programmatic EIR." As projects within the plan are implemented, separate, more detailed environmental reviews will be conducted. The 2001 EIR also covers the 2005 RTP update.
