RTIP

Regional Transportation Improvement Program

As the RTPA, BCAG is required to prepare a Regional Transportation Improvement program (RTIP) every two years. The purpose of the RTIP is to identify programming recommendations for the State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP). The STIP is comprised of two components, the Regional Improvement Program (RIP) for projects nominated by regional agencies in California, such as BCAG and the Interregional Improvement Program (IIP) for projects nominated by Caltrans. The STIP is adopted by the California Transportation Commission.

2018 RTIP Development

The vision defined in 1988 was to connect California’s largest urbanized area of Chico not yet served by a continuous 4-lane highway to Sacramento. Since then, numerous studies, plans and projects have been completed along the corridor. The projects proposed in the 2018 RTIP works towards achieving the vision.

The 2018 RTIP indicates the area's short-term plan for use of RIP and IIP dollars for transportation projects over the next five fiscal years beginning July 1, 2018 through June 30, 2023. The Fund Estimate prepared by Caltrans and the California Transportation Commission identifies a range of $11.5 million and a maximum of $15.1 million.

The RTIP was developed in consultation with BCAG’s Transportation Advisory Committee, Caltrans, the CTC and public. Two public workshops have been held to solicit comments on the RTIP on December 11th from 12-2 p.m. and from 4-6 p.m. at the BCAG offices.
