STA Partners with City County Coordinating Council on Housing Summit

The Solano City County Coordinating Council (4C’s) is a partnership between the County of Solano and the cities of Benicia, Dixon, Fairfield, Rio Vista, Suisun City, Vacaville, and Vallejo. The Solano 4Cs, in partnership with the STA, held a Housing Summit on February 25, 2019. The purpose of the Housing Summit was to inform Solano County’s local elected officials and city staff about forthcoming state housing legislation. A local panel discussed the opportunities and obstacles facing housing production and affordability in Solano County and a regional report called the “CASA Compact” proposed by the Association of Bay Area Governments and the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) to address the region’s Housing Crisis.

Vallejo Community Transportation Interactive Expo

The Transportation Forum is hosted by the Solano Transportation Authority (STA) in partnership with Solano County Transit (SolTrans) and the City of Vallejo. Vallejo residents are invited to provide their input. With your assistance, the STA, SolTrans, and the City of Vallejo will identify transportation challenges for travel within Vallejo and beyond. At the Transportation Forum, the STA and others will share progress on recent transportation projects and developing programs.

At this second Forum, projects to address transportation challenges will be presented for the public to vote on to prioritize funding. The Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) has designated funding for transportation projects in Vallejo identified through this process. In addition, a Vallejo Community Based Transportation Plan (CBTP) will be prepared to address further improvements.

STA Active Transportation Plan

In the May board meeting, the STA Board approved the final draft of the Solano Active Transportation Element (Plan), an element of the County Comprehensive Transportation Plan (CTP). This Plan focuses on the Solano County’s bike and pedestrian network and was partially funded by a grant provided from Caltrans.  The Plan builds upon previous active transportation planning efforts and consolidates STA’s separate Countywide Bicycle, Pedestrian, Safe Routes to School, and Safe Routes to Transit Plans into one cohesive Plan. It establishes countywide priorities and provides project lists and program guidance which STA and local jurisdictions can use to help people of all ages and abilities feel comfortable walking and bicycling.

Please contact Planning Assistant Brent Rosenwald at brosenwald@sta.ca.gov with any questions or concerns.
