This Web portal has recently been redesigned by the California Department of Transportation to focus on the development of the California Interregional Blueprint (CIB). The CIB will integrate Regional Blueprint planning with Caltrans' goal to plan an interregional multi-modal transportation system in the most effective and efficient way possible. The CIB will also become the foundation for the next update of the State's transportation plan, the California Transportation Plan 2040. Signing up on this Web portal will keep you up to date on what's happening and provide you with many opportunities to ask questions and make comments.
Attendance at six California Interregional Blueprint stakeholder workshops exceeded expectations with 227 stakeholders attending and another 653 that might not have been able to participate observing via webcasts.
