Project Overview What is Merced County Regional Vision? Merced County Regional Vision is the name of the collective efforts of the County of Merced and the Cities of Atwater, Dos Palos, Gustine, Livingston, Los Banos, and Merced to plan for the region’s future transportation and housing needs. They are working through the Merced County Association of Governments (MCAG), the Metropolitan Planning Organization or MPO responsible for setting transportation policy and priorities for a region and documenting how transportation funds will be spent in the Regional Transportation Plan or RTP. The Plan makes it possible for our region to get Federal and State funding for local transportation projects and programs. Merced County Regional Vision will result in the development of the 2018 Regional Transportation Plan to improve the quality of life in our communities by improving transportation and housing choices. It takes a big-picture look at how we can grow over time in a way that uses resources efficiently, protects existing communities, conserves farmland and open space, and supports our local economy. Why are we looking at land use? Senate Bill 375 requires planners to consider how land use and transportation planning can be coordinated to help reduce greenhouse gas emissions. This means planning for housing, jobs and services to be located in a way that helps reduce the amount of travel we do day-to-day in our cars and trucks. Merced County Regional Vision will assess those efforts and updates within those criteria. Who Is Involved? MCAG, the County and all of Cities involved are taking this opportunity to engage residents, elected officials, businesses, local governments, community groups and others to create a plan that benefits our neighborhoods, cities and the entire County. How long will the process take? The Plan will take a little more than a year to complete and be finished in the summer of 2018. How Can I Share My Ideas? We will be holding a series of workshops, presentations and events over the next 8 months. You can keep up with all of the details and opportunities to participate at our project website. We look forward to your participation! Visit us online at www.MercedRegionalVision.com
