What is the RTP and SCS?

The StanCOG Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) and Sustainable Communities Strategy (SCS) is a long-term blueprint for how the Stanislaus region will grow and move over the next 25 years. It looks at how to improve transportation options—like roads, buses, bike paths, and walking routes—while also planning for housing.

Projects Advancing the Valley Vision

Community Enhancement Zones (CEZ) bring together regional partners to envision sustainable, equitable, and mobility-focused ways to enhance communities and plan for regionwide growth. 

VMT Mitigation uses revenue from fees proportional to a project’s vehicle-mile impact in order to generate revenue for infill housing and multimodal infrastructure projects that enhance the commute experience for all. 

Sustainable community strategies (SCS) prioritize near-term bicycle and pedestrian-specific projects that make nonmotorized forms of transportation safer and enjoyable.

StanCOG’s 2026 Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) and Sustainable Communities Strategy (SCS) is an update to the previously adopted 2022 RTP/SCS. This plan will guide transportation development throughout Stanislaus County by updating goals and policies to meet current and future mobility needs. It includes all transportation modes, such as highways, transit, rail, bicycle, pedestrian, and aviation, and focuses on transportation demand management and intelligent systems until 2049. The SCS component, mandated by California Senate Bill 375, aims to demonstrate how greenhouse gas reduction targets will be achieved through integrated land use, housing, and transportation planning. If the SCS fails to meet these targets, an Alternative Planning Strategy (APS) will be prepared to find solutions outside the RTP’s fiscal constraints.
