Transit & Non-Motorized Transportation Plan
Butte County Transit and Non-Motorized Plan
The Butte County Transit and Non-Motorized Plan focuses on improving transportation networks for people who walk, bike, or take transit in Butte County. The plan recommends short-term changes and enhancements, as well as long-term improvements needed based on projected growth in Butte County. The study area was all of Butte County.
The study included a number of key steps:
- An inventory of transit services and bicycle/pedestrian facilities
- Understanding travel patterns, transit needs and service gaps in Butte County
- An evaluation of B-Line fixed route and paratransit services
- Public input, via an on-line survey, data collection on B-Line buses, stakeholder meetings and public meetings.
Cover Page and Table of Contents, Executive Summary
These recommendations are now being carried forward and integrated into the 2016 Metropolitan Transportation Plan and Sustainable Communities Strategy (MTP/SCS) to improve accessibility and reduce environmental impacts of driving in Butte County by promoting bicycling, walking, and expanded transit service. This effort began in 2014. The 2016 MTP/SCS is scheduled to be adopted by BCAG by December 2016. This Transit and Non-Motorized Transportation Plan will make a major overhaul to the current chapters in the MTP/SCS. Public participation will in fact continue as part of the MTP/SCS update. This planning document has been made available to each of the local cities and County as an additional planning tool for the locals to be aware of and to compliment their own planning and public works projects.
