Eastern Nevada County
Town of Truckee Transit Development Plan Update
The Town of Truckee requested Nevada County Transportation Commission (NCTC) staff to assist with the procurement of a consultant to update the Eastern Nevada County Transit Development Plan, which will now be called the Town of Truckee Transit Development Plan (TOTTDP). NCTC staff prepared and submitted an RFP. NCTC, in coordination with the Town of Truckee, selected the consulting firm LSC Transportation Consultants, Inc. to update the ENCTDP. Upon consultant selection, an Agreement between NCTC and LSC Consultants was executed in the amount of $74,995.00. NCTC staff served as the Project Manager for this planning effort and coordinated and guided the study process.
This study will analyze a wide range of service, capital, institutional and management, and financial alternatives. The consultant will evaluate the existing local and regional transit systems in place (including microtransit service(s)), opportunities for improved coordination in the region, identify the most efficient approach to meet the needs of the public, and carefully identify where transit resources should be prioritized and allocated over the five-year planning period. Public involvement and outreach activities are integral components of this study. The final product will guide the provision of services over the next five-year period, within the financial revenues projected, and include a prioritized implementation plan to accomplish the plan recommendations.
The consultant conducted public outreach for the study through on-line surveys, surveys were presented at pop-ups in the Town of Truckee, by the consultant team. The pop-ups were at Earth Day and the local Farmers Markets. The consultant team presented an on-line virtual workshop and two separate in-person community workshops in the Town of Truckee.
NCTC staff presented an overview of the key plan recommendations at the July 17th NCTC meeting. The Draft TOTTDP was presented to the Town of Truckee Town Council on August 27, 2024. Comments and recommendations that were provided by staff were incorporated as appropriate, into the Final TOTTDP. The Final TOTTDP was presented and approved at the January 14, 2025 Town of Truckee Town Council meeting.
