Transportation Program Build and Enhance Transit Systems
This is a coordinated project between Placer County, TRPA, Caltrans, and the Town of Truckee to adaptively manage basin entry roads of SR 89 and SR 267, as described within the Placer County Tahoe Basin Area Plan. Examples of Adaptive Traffic Management strategies include bus only lanes or modified lane configurations during peak travel times. Through improved operations of basin entry roads, user satisfaction improvements, congestion decreases, transit use increases, and impacts to the environment (including VMT and GHG emissions) are expected to decrease. Total project delivery costs rise to the hundreds of millions however values reflect initial phase of planning and design.
