Federal and state regulations require regional transportation planning agencies and metropolitan transportation organizations to develop long-range, multi-modal transportation plans for their jurisdictions. These plans are called Regional Transportation Plans (RTPs). Like the CTP, RTPs provide a vision of the regional transportation goals, policies, objectives and strategies. Unlike the CTP, the RTPs also list specific projects intended to meet local and regional transportation needs. The RTP development guidelines state that RTPs will promote “consistency between the California Transportation Plan, the regional transportation plan and other transportation plans developed by cities, counties, districts, private organizations, tribal governments, and state and federal agencies in responding to statewide and interregional transportation issues and needs.” Conversely, the CTP considers the content of the RTPs.
