The goal of the l-80/1-680/1-780 Major Investment and Corridor Study is to develop a long range, multi-modal transportation plan for the 1-80, 1-680 and 1-780 corridors in Solano County. Interstates 80, 680 and 780 form the backbone of Solano County’s roadway network. According to projections by the Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG), the population of Solano County will grow by 45 percent between 2000 and 2025, and transportation demands on the County’s freeway network are expected to increase accordingly. If transportation improvements are not pursued within the study corridors in this timeframe, forecasts predict dramatic increases in vehicular congestion and delay. These increases in vehicular congestion are projected to be the worst on the segments of 1-80 through Fairfield and Vacaville, with peak hour delays of greater than one-half hour in some sections.

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.

The STA Board adopted the countywide Local Road Safety Plan (LRSP) at the Sept. 14, 2022, meeting. The LRSP was adopted in consultation with the seven Solano cities and Solano County and will serve as a framework for organizing stakeholders to systematically identify, analyze, and prioritize roadway safety improvements on local roads. STA’s LRSP identifies high crash locations from January 1, 2016 to December 31, 2020, and recommends safety treatments to reduce the frequency of future fatal and severe injury (KSI) collisions.
An LRSP (or its equivalent Systemic Safety Analysis Report [SSAR] or Vision Zero Action Plan program) is required for the cities of Benicia, Dixon, Fairfield, Rio Vista, Suisun City, Vacaville, Vallejo, and the County of Solano to be eligible to apply for the federal Safe Streets for All (SS4A) Program and to be eligible for future Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) funding.
At the same Board meeting, the STA Board authorized the submittal of a grant application for the Safe Streets for All (SS4A) Program. The SS4A call-for-projects allowed local agencies to submit applications for either Action Plan Grants or Implementation Plan Grants. STA’s LRSP, in partnership with member agencies, qualifies as an Action Plan as defined by the SS4A Program. The amount authorized for FY22-23 is $1 billion for safety improvement projects that reduce KSI collisions, especially for vulnerable road uses, such as for cyclists and pedestrians.

Community Based Transportation Plans (CBTPs) are funded by the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) for the Bay Area’s Equity Priority Communities, which includes most of Suisun City. The concept of the CBTP was borne out of MTC’s Lifeline Transportation Network and environmental justice efforts nearly 20 years ago. While much has changed since the release of reports from those efforts, transportation challenges remain and may become more severe unless addressed with strategic planning alternatives. Foreseeable challenges to be addressed in this CBTP include changes in the transit landscape, continued effects from COVID-19, the growth of the over 75-year-old population at a faster rate than other age cohorts, and consistently meeting mobility and accessibility needs of individuals with disabilities. In addition to people with disabilities, older adults, and low-income populations, other populations included in the Equity Priority Communities, such as people of color and zero vehicle households are incorporated as primary targets of the mobility strategies in this study.
