EL DORADO COUNTY SHORT-RANGE TRANSIT PLAN
EDCTC was awarded Transit Technical Assistance grant funding from Caltrans to develop a Short-Range Transit Plan for El Dorado County. The previous Short-Range Transit Plan (SRTP) was developed as a component of the combined Short- and Long-Range Transit Plan Study completed in November of 2003. The short-range element of that plan was developed to span the years of 2003/04 through 2007/08. Nearly all of the action items in the short-range component of the Implementation Plan of that document have been implemented. Development of a new Short-Range Transit Plan is needed to actively guide transit operations. It is intended to provide feasible development strategies for the rapidly urbanizing areas of the Western Slope of El Dorado County and strategies to continue effective public service in the rural service area.

The EDCTC Draft Short-Range Transit Plan is now available for public review and will be presented to the EDCTA and EDCTC Boards on Thursday, June 5, 2008 at 1:00 p.m. (EDCTA) and 2:00 p.m. (EDCTC) at 2850 Fairlane Court Building C Hearing Room, Placerville CA 95667.
