Calling all Solano County Residents!!  We need your input on two upcoming transportation plans:

The first is the Solano Connected Mobility Implementation Plan and is open to all Solano County Residents. This Plan is being developed to identify and improve mobility options (e.g. bus, ferry, train, bike) between your home and destinations. For more information on the Connected Mobility Implementation Plan and to take the survey, please click HERE.

If you’re a Suisun City resident, the Suisun City Community Based Transportation Plan (CBTP). The goal of the CBTP is to identify transportation gaps, propose and prioritize strategies to address these gaps, and target potential funding sources and project leads for implementation. For more information on the CBTP and to take the survey,  please click HERE.

Stay tuned for additional information.

The 2018 California State Rail Plan, the state’s strategic plan for creating a coordinated, statewide rail network, identified a “Solano County Hub” to link Capitol Corridor, future Sonoma-Marin Area Rail Transit (SMART) trains, and regional buses. This report analyzed potential rail station locations along the Union Pacific Railroad/SMART corridor within Solano County to determine a recommended location for the proposed Solano County Hub. The study recommends the current location of the Suisun-Fairfield Capitol Corridor Station as the SMART-Capitol Corridor station site. In addition, the report provides a range of station options for another station site in the Cordelia area in the City of Fairfield that could be considered in the update of the City’s General Plan.

Click HERE to view the 2021 SMART and SolanoExpress Station Feasibility Study.

Based on the needs and feedback from cities and schools for small-scale project support, the Solano SR2S Program has received approval from the STA Board to pilot a SR2S Micro-Grant Program to begin in fiscal year 2019-2020. The funds awarded through this program will support small-scale projects or capital purchases that encourage bike and pedestrian usage and improve bike and pedestrian safety around Solano County schools. The SR2S Micro-Grant Pilot Program will be funded through Transportation Development Act (TDA) funds, air district grants and High-Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) fines.

This grant opportunity is open to all Solano County cities, schools, school districts, community organizations and youth groups. Projects could include (but are not limited to): purchasing and installing bike racks and safety-related signage; providing safety equipment (bike helmets, vests, reflectors); creating green bike lanes or making other infrastructure improvements at/around schools.

For more information or to apply, please click here.

The Solano Transportation Authority is coordinating with the Cities and County of Solano to host a virtual workshop focused on informing the development of the Solano Subregional Housing Needs Allocation (SubRHNA) methodology.

The virtual workshop is planned to be held on Friday, December 11, 2020 at 2 p.m.  Additional details and contact information regarding the upcoming workshop is included in following the notice provided by the County of Solano

Caltrans Bay Area will begin work on Interstate 80(I-80), Interstate 680 (I-680) and State Route 12 (SR-12) Interchange Project Package (PKG) 2A in Solano County. I-80/ I-680/SR-12 PKG 2A will focus on relieving congestion by replacing the existing single-lane eastbound (EB) SR-12 to EB I-80 connector with a new two-lane connector and bridge structure which has been designed to accommodate future project phases. The current weave of traffic merging onto EB I-80 from SR-12 and exiting off from EB I-80 to Green Valley Road and SB I-680 will be eliminated by this project. To eliminate this weave, this project will construct a new dedicated off-ramp from EB SR-12 to Green Valley Road and a new braided off-ramp from EB I-80 to Green Valley Road and southbound I-680.

The I-80/I-680/SR-12 is a multi-year, multi-phase project which includes Package 1 through Package 7. The project site will be near Fairfield’s Green Valley and Cordelia neighborhoods. I-80/I-680/SR-12 Interchange PKG 1 was completed in 2017 with a new Green Valley Road Interchange and westbound SR-12 connector from WB I-80 to WB SR-12. I-80/I-680/SR 12 Interchange Package 2A is the second of seven packages improving the distribution of three major freeway movements at this interchange by reconfiguring the ramps and access to local streets. The project is majority-funded with Senate Bill 1 (SB1) Trade Corridor Enhancement Program (TCEP) funds. It is also funded with State Transportation Improvement Program-Regional Improvement Program(STIP-RIP) funds as well as local Bay Area Toll Authority (BATA) Bridge Toll Funds. The project will benefit motorists and the local community by improving travel times, reducing cut-through traffic on local streets, and enhance safety and operational efficiency for motorists along the I-80/I-680/SR-12 Interchange linking the Bay Area, the Napa Valley, and Sacramento. Construction is expected to begin in late September 2020. Package 2A of this project is expected to be completed by Fall 2022.

On Wednesday, September 23, 2020, Caltrans Bay Area, Solano Transportation Authority (STA) and the City of Fairfield held a virtual public informational meeting where Caltrans presented an overview of the I-80/I-680/SR-12 Interchange PKG 2A project to the Solano County community, covering project information and detours that will be in place while the project is underway.
