Purpose

Every two years, Shasta Regional Transportation Agency (SRTA) is responsible for developing and adopting a Regional Transportation Improvement Program (RTIP) -- a five-year program for planned transportation projects.  The program includes a listing of recommended capital outlays for transportation improvements, including new facilities, rehabilitation, and operational improvements using Regional Improvement Program funds available to the Shasta region.  The RTIP is one of two feed documents for development of the State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP), the other feed document being the Interregional Transportation Improvement Program developed by Caltrans.  SRTA updated project selection priorities on October 22, 2013.
