Extreme weather events increasingly threaten Solano County’s transportation system, with wildfires and flooding disrupting key routes and infrastructure. In response, local jurisdictions have initiated climate adaptation and resiliency plans.
Building on this work, the Solano Transportation Authority (STA) is developing the Solano Transportation Resiliency Plan to make the county’s transportation network more reliable and resilient to the extreme weather events of both today and the future. The Solano Transportation Resiliency Plan, in partnership with all seven Solano County cities and the County of Solano, will assess the existing transportation system – from Routes of Regional Significance, Transit Facilities of Regional Significance (such as the Valley Ferry Terminal and the Solano Rail Hub and Hannigan Station), and active transportation facilities – to identify the infrastructure vulnerable to extreme weather events and recommend improvements.
As part of the STRP development process, the STA will be seeking input from Solano County residents on their experiences with extreme weather events, the impacts of these events on local transportation infrastructure, and their priorities for the Solano Transportation Resiliency Plan. Public engagement is now kicking off! The STA wants your input to determine your top priorities as a Solano County community member. There are several ways to get involved:
This survey will help the STA understand your experiences with weather impacts on transportation and identify resilience priorities. Your feedback will play a crucial role in shaping plans to improve transportation infrastructure to ensure it meets future demands and climate conditions. The survey will take 10 minutes or less to complete and is available now through August 29.
Take the survey now at surveymonkey.com/r/sta-strp.
We also invite you to join the STA for our first series of Community Meetings to learn more about the STA STRP. We will have an in-person meeting on Tuesday, August 19 and a virtual meeting on Thursday, August 21. Attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions, share their feedback on transportation resiliency priorities, and learn more about how your input will be used throughout the Plan development process. Join us in person or virtually!
