Caltrans, in coordination with the Governor's Office of Planning and Research and the California Department of Housing and Community Development, oversees the California Regional Blueprint Program to encourage sustainable growth on a regional scale. The program provides funds for voluntary regional sustainable growth-planning efforts that emphasize transportation and scenario-planning activities. Participating MPOs and RTPAs engage in visualization and scenario planning with extensive public participation. Regional agencies then use this planning process to create and implement a Regional Blueprint Plan, which integrates transportation, environment, housing, and other key regional issues into a preferred-growth scenario. The outcome-based goals of each Regional Blueprint planning process include reducing emissions of greenhouse gases from mobile sources, integrating environmental concerns into regional planning, linking transportation and housing needs at a regional level, building interagency partnerships, and creating proactive public involvement. The Regional Blueprint Program is an innovative policy solution to encouraging sustainable growth and combating global climate change. Project Contributors:
