Draft 2026 RTIP released for public comment; COG proposes programming $1.5 million in regional shares for SR‑49 Southern Gateway design
Calaveras Council of Governments staff presented the draft 2026 Regional Transportation Improvement Program (RTIP) for public review at the Nov. 5 meeting and opened a comment period through Nov. 21. The technical advisory committee has reviewed the draft and supports it as presented.

Staff reported Calaveras’ STIP regional shares total $1.5 million across five years and that the COG intends to request that the California Transportation Commission program the full share in the first year (2026) to fund the PS&E (plans, specifications and estimates) phase of the SR‑49 Southern Gateway project. Staff noted that programming the funds in 2026 is a request to the CTC and is not guaranteed.

The council was reminded that the final RTIP will be returned to the board on Dec. 3 for adoption prior to a Dec. 15 submission to Caltrans. Staff answered questions about the PS&E scope, project timing and local coordination. The item was informational and did not require a vote.
