Draft Napa Countywide Transportation Plan

The Napa Valley Transportation Authority (NVTA) has worked with the community and local jurisdictions to update Napa Valley’s Countywide Transportation Plan since fall of 2019. This plan covers the 25-year period from 2020 to 2045 and is important because it will help Napa County jurisdictions prepare for the future by evaluating longer term transportation needs in context of the land use, economic, and demographic changes in our communities. It will also position the jurisdictions to compete for scarce Local, Regional, State and Federal funding.

The draft plan is now ready for public review! Please review the plan and share your feedback.
