US 50 Comprehensive Multimodal Corridor Plan

Improving safety, reliability, and access along Highway 50 in the Sacramento region

About the US 50 CMCP

The US 50 Comprehensive Multimodal Corridor Plan (US 50 CMCP), is a long-range planning effort that will provide ways to improve congestion, safety, and accessibility along a 58-mile portion of the corridor in the Sacramento region. The plan takes a big picture approach by identifying strategies and improvements for:

US 50 highway facilities
Sacramento Regional Transit Gold Line
The American River Parkway
Local roadways and public transit routes
Active transportation (walking and bicycling) networks
Intelligent transportation systems (ITS)
Transportation demand management (TDM)
Broadband infrastructure

The plan is a collaborative effort co-led by SACOG and Caltrans, in partnership with El Dorado Transportation Commission (EDCTC), Sacramento Transportation Authority (STA), local cities and counties, tribal governments, public transit agencies, the 50 Corridor Transportation Management Association (50 TMA), and other partners.

Community members and partners along the corridor - from West Sacramento and Pollock Pines- are also key partners in shaping the plan's vision and recommendations through engagement events throughout the process.

The US 50 CMCP is funded by a Caltrans Strategic Partnership Planning Grant.

The plan will identify a strategic list of transportation projects that improve conditions along the US 50 Corridor. These projects will then be eligible to compete for state and federal funding opportunities, including the SB-1 Solutions for Congested Corridors Program (SCCP).

The plan supports the Caltrans Strategic Plan and the SACOG Blueprint, working to build and maintain a safe, equitable, and resilient multimodal transportation system. This will be accomplished by improving the corridor travel experience, and reducing Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT). The US 50 CMCP will also support local agencies in building active transportation, public transit, and local roadway improvements that support regional and statewide goals.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Comprehensive Multimodal Corridor Plan?

A Comprehensive Multimodal Corridor Plan (CMCP) is a long-range planning document that outlines a shared vision for improving travel along a transportation corridor.

CMCPs emphasize collaboration with local, regional, and state partners and focuses on creating a more balanced multimodal transportation system – supporting travel by car, transit, walking, biking, and goods movement. These plans help cities and counties compete for funding for transportation projects through programs like the Solutions for Congested Corridors (SCCP), as well as other state, regional, and federal grants.

What are the US 50 CMCP goals?

The US 50 CMCP is organized around three main goals:

1. Improve safety for all transportation system users.

2. Enhance travel reliability throughout the corridor.

3. Increase multimodal travel options and improve access to key destinations.

These goals reflect a broader vision that includes sustainability, equity, and economic vitality. The plan also supports reducing greenhouse gas emissions, improving mobility for underserved communities, enhancing connections to transit and mobility hubs, and promoting efficient land use and goods movement.

For more detail on how these goals will be achieved, view the Policy Framework.

How are projects considered for inclusion in the plan?

The US 50 CMCP team has completed the existing conditions phase and documented the planned projects within the corridor. Working with our US 50 CMCP partners, the team is identifying additional gaps, challenges, and potential solutions for consideration. The next step will be to evaluate and prioritize the identified project improvements that are best aligned with the plan’s goals and ready to compete for the next cycle of SCCP grant funding in 2026.
