CBTP

In 2018 Napa Valley Transportation Authority (NVTA) staff began the Community-Based Transportation Plan (CBTP) update. The purpose of the CBTP is to identify Equity Priority Communities, based on census data and criteria, and conduct specific outreach to those communities to identify transportation gaps and needs.

Eight EPCs were identified in Napa County and NVTA staff conducted over 15 public outreach events to gain knowledge about what transportation improvements are important to them. In addition, NVTA formed a CBTP Steering Committee made up of social service and community-based organizations to vet projects and programs and to gain further input on local needs. NVTA collected specific projects and overall programmatic themes that were identified by the community.

What is a CBTP?

The purpose of the CBTP is to improve mobility options and close transportation gaps for low-income and disadvantaged communities in Napa County. To establish the foundation for the plan, the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) evaluates census data to identify EPCs. NVTA staff expanded that effort and identified four additional EPCs, beyond the four EPCs identified by MTC. The primary focus of the Community-Based Transportation planning process is to directly engage with disadvantaged Napa County residents to identify missing transportation needs not currently being met.
