Notice of Intent to Adopt Negative Declaration Alpine County 2020 Regional Transportation Plan Notice is given that the project of the 2020 Alpine County Regional Transportation Plan will not have a significant adverse effect on the environment. Background: The proposed project is the adoption and implementation of the 2020 Alpine County Regional Transportation Plan (RTP). The Alpine County Local Transportation Commission (ACLTC), as the designated Regional Transportation Planning Agency (RTPA), is required by State law to prepare the RTP and transmit it to the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) every four years. The RTP is required to be developed as per State legislation, Government Code §65080 et seq. of Chapter 2.5. The last full Alpine County RTP update was adopted in 2015. Project Description: The 2020 Alpine County Regional Transportation Plan will serve as the planning blueprint to guide transportation investments in the County involving local, State, and Federal funding over the next 20 years. The project area consists of the entire County of Alpine. Each project identified in the 2020 RTP contributes to system preservation, capacity enhancement, safety, and/or multimodal enhancements. This RTP focuses on developing a coordinated and balanced multimodal regional transportation system that is financially constrained to the revenues anticipated over the life of the plan (2040). Meeting Information: A public hearing will be held during an Alpine County Local Transportation Commission meeting on February 16th, 2021 at 11:00 AM, where the Regional Transportation Plan and Environmental Document are proposed to be adopted.
