Placer County is no stranger to congested freeways and LA style traffic. Placer County Transportation Planning Agency (PCTPA) has carefully managed finances and pinched every penny from Federal and State funds to help deliver the transportation projects necessary to solve Placer County’s transportation dilemma. The new interchanges at I-80/Douglas Blvd and Sierra College Blvd, and the start of work on the I-80 Bottleneck are the result of those efforts.

But the fact is that Federal and State transportation funding is rapidly drying up. Funding from the infrastructure bonds is being offset by State budget deficits, which are again taking billions of promised transportation funding.

It is clear that if we want to solve the nightmare traffic scenario of 2030, we can’t count on the State or the Feds – it will be up to Placer County residents.

For three years, PCTPA has worked with a bipartisan steering committee of local leaders to identify the most needed transportation projects, and the funding sources could most effectively pay for them.

The one clear result? Without a local transportation funding source to fund key transportation projects throughout Placer County, these projects could be indefinitely delayed and your time stuck in traffic could skyrocket.

Placer residents must act now!

Many Placer residents gathered information and provided input on transportation solutions at community forums held throughout the County.
