There is an important message:

The Santa Cruz County Regional Transportation Commission is an autonomous planning agency for Santa Cruz County. Created by the State of California in 1972 to handle transportation responsibilities that cross city-county boundaries, the commission sets priorities for major improvements to infrastructure—not only highways and major roads, but also bus transit, paratransit, rail and alternative transportation facilities. The agency's mission includes the pursuit of funding for major capital improvements while also working toward a balanced transportation system that improves the quality of life in the region.

The agency is governed by appointed commissioners who represent the county and its four cities as well as the Santa Cruz Metropolitan Transit District. The commissioners’ meetings are open to the public, as are meetings of the SCCRTC’s various committees.
