Pre-RFPTransportationDetected Jun 18, 2026

SJCOG is releasing the draft 2026 Regional Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy (RTP/SCS) on June 12, 2026 for a 55‑day public review period, along with a programmatic Environmental Impact Report, the 2027 Federal Transportation Improvement Program (FTIP), and an Air Quality Conformity document on staggered dates through July. The RTP/SCS is a long‑range plan through 2049 that integrates transportation investments, land use, greenhouse gas reduction, and revenue forecasts, and it is the gateway for projects to be eligible for certain state and federal funds.Staff have refreshed the project list with jurisdictions and transit agencies, removing completed projects, adding new priorities, and adjusting scopes and timelines, while carrying forward many 2022 plan investments. The FTIP will provide a four‑year, fund‑specific project schedule, and the air quality document will demonstrate conformity for the shared San Joaquin Valley air basin. This planning and conformity cycle shapes which highway, transit, freight, bike/ped, and ITS projects can advance to programming and future construction or implementation. Vendors can engage now with local sponsors on project development, environmental work, modeling, equity and climate analysis, CEQA/NEPA clearance, and readiness for subsequent grant and design/construction procurements tied to the new RTP/SCS and FTIP.

Projects must be in the adopted RTP/SCS to be eligible for certain state and federal transportation funding; FTIP lists projects receiving federal funding or needing federal action.

Grant Funding

The Town of Juno Beach secured Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) funding to develop a Safety Action Plan under its Vision Zero effort. The plan will use crash data, roadway analysis, and community input to identify safety concerns and prioritize street improvements. A public meeting was set for August 20, 2026, and the Town's consultant will host a virtual session at the same time. This is a grant-funded planning project, and the next sales conversation is with the project team on analysis, engagement, and implementation support.

Public Updates

CTDOT held a virtual public information meeting on the replacement of Bridge No. 01214 carrying Schoolhouse Hill Road over I-84 in Newtown. The project will replace the superstructure and rehabilitate the substructure to extend service life and keep the crossing safe. Construction is expected to start in spring 2029, depending on funding, right-of-way acquisition, and permits. The estimated cost is $11 million, so this is a useful lead for bridge design, construction, and support services tied to a future funded project.

Public Updates

INDOT proposed deleting outdated section 104.04(a) on special detours and temporary runarounds. The stated goal is to remove obsolete payment language and clarify contract handling for projects with maintenance of traffic pay items, including 713-B-327. This is specification cleanup rather than a new procurement, but it affects how future road contracts are written.
