Regional Blueprints

Regional Blueprints are collaborative planning processes that engage residents of a region in articulating a vision for the long term future of their region.  The regional vision is developed from residents’ values and priorities, and informed by advanced GIS modeling and visualization tools that demonstrate the impacts of growth and planning decisions.  The process leads to the development of alternative growth scenarios for the region, and through a public process a preferred growth scenario is selected that can then guide regional and local land use and transportation decisions for a future that is sustainable, while meeting residents' needs and providing a high quality of life for all. 

The Caltrans Regional Blueprints program supports collaborative regional planning efforts across California through grants, support services and interagency coordination.
