The goal of the North State Intercity Bus to Rail Plan is to coordinate and plan for better intercity bus options in the short- and mid-term and improved passenger rail transportation in the long- term between the Shasta Region and the large metropolitan areas of Greater Sacramento, the Bay Area, and north into Oregon as well as improve connections across the North State.

This project is funded by a Caltrans Sustainable Transportation Planning Grant (Strategic Partnership Grant (FTA 5304)) and Local Transportation Funds (LTF). The estimated contract award budget is $190,000. Work on the North State Intercity Bus to Rail Plan is expected to be complete by December 2024.
