C/CAG is coordinating all city responses to the Sustainable Communities Strategy to be compiled and sent to ABAG.

Staff is developing the Countywide Transportation Plan 2035 (CTP 2035), using the advice of a Working Group of local land use, transportation, housing, and public health planners.  C/CAG has engaged a land use planning consultant to work with its staff, with the Working Group, and with local planners to update the demographic files in the San Mateo County Travel Model, which will be employed to generate simulations and forecasts for CTP 2035.  CTP 2035 will address the emerging requirements of Senate Bill (SB) 375, which mandates closer coordination of land use and transportation planning and development of a Sustainable Communities Strategy to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. A draft Vision Statement, Goals, and Objectives, for the Sustainable Communities Strategy crafted in consultation with the Working Group, emphasizes the importance of Smart Growth and continued development of alternative modes of transportation to meet the access and mobility needs of San Mateo County residents, workers, and visitors.  Staff is developing draft policies to address modal needs, modal connectivity, and better integration of transportation and land use.

In addition, C/CAG is using a county bike travel model, similar to the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority (VTA) model for bicycle volume data.  C/CAG is working on a new program to create an incentive for reduced parking and transit oriented developments (TOD) that include Transportation Demand Management (TDM) strategies, bike lockers, etc.  The agency also is working on the countywide Climate Action Plan (CAP) and incorporating a series of bicycle and pedestrian counts (similar to traffic counts for automobiles).
