Countywide Transportation Plan
Share your thoughts on the current plan under development!
What is a Countywide Transportation Plan?
The Countywide Transportation Plan outlines priorities for the Napa Valley Transportation Authority and Napa County’s transportation system to relieve congestion, improve traffic safety, create more active transportation infrastructure, provide more reliable and frequent bus service, and maintain and repair the existing transportation system.
The Plan provides a direction for the next five years while considering land use, environment, population and financial projections up to 2050. A countywide transportation plan is updated every 4-5 years to reflect changing conditions, technologies, policies, and funding opportunities, ensuring the plan stays relevant and actionable. Regular updates also help to regularly incorporate public input, keeping long-term goals aligned with current needs. Measure U, passed in 2024, continues the legacy of Measure T to provide funding to improve and maintain local roadways and improve traffic conditions on Napa’s highways. However, it can’t be the only source of revenue.
This plan is part of a regional planning process, and some elements will eventually be part of the Plan Bay Area, the regional transportation plan published by the Metropolitan Transportation Commission. Programs and projects submitted for inclusion in Play Bay Area must reflect financial constraints, but this plan also includes projects that are not yet funded, to allow projects of merit to advance should additional funding become available.
NVTA strives to overcome the transportation obstacles of today and plans to address the challenges of tomorrow with the Plan’s programs, policies and projects.
