The Placer bus stop facilities assessment and improvement plan, led by the Placer County Transportation Planning Agency (PCTPA) in coordination with Placer County Transit and Roseville Transit, aims to enhance the comfort, safety, and accessibility of over 250 bus stops. This effort includes inventorying current bus stops, establishing clear design standards, and prioritizing improvements. The plan's objective is to make public transit more accessible, reliable, and comfortable for everyone in Placer County, fostering community pride in the improved spaces.

The Placer County Zero Emission Vehicle Infrastructure Plan outlines a comprehensive, data-driven strategy to support the transition to zero-emission transportation across the county. This plan addresses the substantial and differentiated infrastructure needs for light-duty and medium- and heavy-duty vehicles, aiming for a significant expansion of public and workplace charging by 2035. Key focus areas include developing a countywide siting framework based on travel data, grid capacity, land use, equity, and environmental factors, alongside a multi-phase implementation roadmap. It emphasizes community engagement to ensure reliability, safety, affordability, and equitable access, particularly in rural and disadvantaged communities.
