Transportation commission recommends Roseville short-range transit plan to City Council

The Roseville Transportation Commission on Aug. 19 voted to accept the city’s Short Range Transit Plan (SRTP) and recommend that the City Council approve the document as the five‑year implementation roadmap for Roseville Transit and regional coordination.

The SRTP, presented by Mike Costa of the Placer County Transportation Planning Agency and Roseville staff members Ed Schofield and Rich Frost, lays out near‑term service and capital actions, funding strategies, and performance measures intended to implement recommendations from each agency’s prior comprehensive operational analysis. "The funds to pay for Roseville's capital plan have already been secured," Ed Schofield said during the presentation.

Why it matters: The SRTP is a joint planning effort among Roseville Transit, Placer County Transit and Auburn Transit intended to coordinate fares, schedules and marketing as a single regional customer experience. Near‑term items in Roseville’s section include service changes already adopted from the COA, bus shelter replacements, electric‑bus charging infrastructure, the planned RapidLink regional route between Lincoln, Roseville and the Watt/I‑80 light rail station, and a prioritized fleet replacement program.
