BCAG is required to prepare and update the RTP/SCS every four years. All material presented and prepared will be posted here. If you are interested in receiving notification of material as it is prepared or public workshops, please send an email to igarcia@bcag.org, cdevine@bcag.org, or call the BCAG offices at 530-809-4616.  The RTP/SCS is required to be in alignment with the goals of SB 375 and in compliance with the adopted RTP Guidelines developed by the California Transportation Commission and the SCS guidelines adopted by California Air Resources Board.
 
Public participation has been occuring throughout the development of the 2024 RTP/SCS over the past two years. BCAG has participated in Thursday night Farmers Market and other local community events including Red Suspender's Day at the Butte County Fair, Juneteenth celebration in South Oroville, Dia de Los Mertos in Gridley and other events, as well as hosting a virtual community workshop and completing a community survey. These efforts are ongoing and ensure that the 2024 RTP/SCS incorporates community input and preferences.
