Measure D regional projects include Active Transportation/Rail Trail, Highway Corridors, Rail Corridor preservation, Highway 17 Wildlife Crossing, and San Lorenzo Valley-Highway 9 Corridor Improvements.The approved Measure D 5-year plan adds funding to projects previously approved in the plan and shifts funds between years to match project delivery schedules and project expenditure needs for a variety of projects in the Measure D Active Transportation, Highway and Rail categories.Some of the Measure D regional projects under construction currently and into the next year include Highway 1 Auxiliary Lanes and Bus-on-Shoulder between Bay/Porter and State Park, including a new bicycle/pedestrian overcrossing at Mar Vista Avenue, and Segment 5 of the Coastal Rail Trail from Wilder Ranch to Davenport on the Santa Cruz County North Coast. No new projects were programmed funds.Community Bridges Lift Line will continue to use its Measure D funds for three additional drivers, to support expanded weekday and weekend paratransit service, on vehicle operation costs, and on its new operations facility.The approved 5-year plans for spending Measure D funds are on the RTC website: www.sccrtc.org/move .RTC Documents are here:https://www.sccrtc.org/meetings/regional-transportation-commission/agendas/Original video is here:https://youtu.be/J4cE6Pz_U54?si=twHZsN6hTylIiwXY
