About the Shasta County Regional Transportation
Planning Agency

 

The Shasta County Regional Transportation Planning Agency (SCRTPA) and Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) is a transportation policy-making organization made up of representatives from local government and transportation authorities. MPO's were created by Congress in order to ensure that existing and future expenditures in transportation projects are based on a continuing, cooperative, and comprehensive planning process.

Key MPO issues are long-range transportation planning, transportation improvement programs, annual planning work programs, budgets, and other transportation policy documents. The MPO governance consists of Board members representing the cities of Anderson, Redding, and Shasta Lake, the County of Shasta, and the Redding Area Bus Authority. Professional staff carry out the requested planning process in an effective manner.
