Project Overview

The San Mateo County Transportation Authority (TA) is developing the Regional Transit Connections (RTC) Plan which will provide guidance for a new competitive grant program. The new grant program will fund transit improvements that connect San Mateo County with San Francisco, Alameda, and Santa Clara Counties.
