STA Board Approves Release of the Comprehensive Transportation Plan for a 30-day Public Comment Period

The Comprehensive Transportation Plan (CTP) is the primary long-range planning document for Solano County designed to create a safe, equitable, and sustainable multi-modal transportation system that meets the diverse mobility needs and sustainability goals of our communities. The plan will serve as a roadmap for the Solano Transportation Authority to guide transportation investments over the next 30 years, including active transportation (walking and biking), roadways and highways, public transit, equity, and land use.

As part of the CTP Update process, STA staff, working with the eight Solano member agencies, identified priority projects for all three CTP elements: 1). Active Transportation, 2). Arterials, Highways, Freeways, and 3). Transit and Rideshare. On March 11, 2026, the STA Board took action to release the Draft Element Project Lists for a 30-day public comment period.



Submit feedback on the project lists via email to Dulce Jimenez, Assistant Planner at djimenez@sta.ca.gov before 5:00 PM, Monday, April 20, 2026.

STA Board Approves 2025 Final Congestion Management Program Report

At the March 2026 STA Board meeting, the STA Board approved the Final 2025 Congestion Management Program (CMP) Report. As the designated Congestion Management Agency for the county, the STA is responsible for maintaining and updating the CMP every two years, in coordination with regional requirements.



The 2025 update builds upon the previous 2023 report and reflects the latest guidance issued in Spring 2025 by the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC). STA staff focused on targeted updates to key sections of the report, including: Transportation Demand Management programs, Land Use Analysis, and the Capital Improvement Program.

The draft report underwent a thorough review process, including presentations to the Solano County Intercity Transit Consortium and the STA Technical Advisory Committee in late January 2026. Following these presentations, no additional comments were submitted, and both committees unanimously supported advancing the report for Board approval during their February meetings.

The Final 2025 CMP Report will be submitted to MTC for regional coordination and compliance. The update was funded through existing STA budget allocations, utilizing One Bay Area Grant (OBAG) 3 planning funds.

STA Board Approves Solano Mobility Express Pilot Program for Service to Vacaville, Dixon, UC Davis, and Sacramento

At the March 2026 STA Board meeting, the STA Board approved the creation of a new Solano Mobility Express Pilot Program, expanding transportation options for residents traveling between Vacaville, Dixon, University of California, Davis, and the Sacramento region.

The program is funded through a series of targeted modifications to existing Solano Mobility Programs for Fiscal Year 2026–27. Earlier in 2026, the STA Board directed staff to identify cost-saving opportunities to support a new vanpool-style service alternative in place of the previously considered Solano Express Blue Line expansion. Staff subsequently identified several program adjustments that would generate the necessary funding while maintaining core mobility services.

The newly approved Solano Mobility Express Pilot Program is designed to improve access to employment and education centers, including UC Davis and Sacramento, while addressing growing commuter needs.

STA Board Approves the City of Dixon Community Based Transportation Plan

The STA partnered with the City of Dixon to implement a Community-Based Transportation Plan (CBTP) to study and listen to the transportation challenges Dixon residents are facing.

Over 900 City of Dixon residents participated in a CBTP survey that will help the City of Dixon and the STA better understand current transit conditions and opportunities to make mobility services more accessible and efficient for older adults, youth, low income, individuals with disabilities, and all residents across the Dixon community.



By providing their feedback, the Dixon community helped design the transportation improvements that work for their community.
