Org Chart(PDF)
The Division of Planning, Public Transportation and Local Assistance consists of Regional and Advance Transportation Planning offices which evaluate and identify future improvements needed to the transportation system. Included within these offices are corridor studies, IGR/CEQA review and GIS.
The division plays a critical role in articulating a future vision of transportation while laying a groundwork for project development. Planners collect data, analyze alternatives and prepare plans to guide transportation investments and protect the state transportation system. The planning process involves working closely with our regional transportation partners, other divisions in the district, headquarters, neighboring districts and the public to insure an openness and equality.
