PROJECT MONITORING QUARTERLY REPORT

What is the EDCTC Project Monitoring Report?
EDCTC staff develops Project Monitoring Reports for transportation projects that are regionally significant or funded through the Commission by state and federal fund sources. The reports help to increase awareness of regional transportation issues and potential project delivery challenges.

EDCTC's Senior Transportation Planners develop the quarterly project monitoring reports. The local Report focuses on projects located in and around the City of Placerville, and the County-wide report focuses on projects located in the unincorporated areas of western El Dorado County.

Reports can be downloaded below in PDF format. If you have any questions, feel free to contact Jerry Barton 530-642-5267.
