HCAOG has prepared two documents to facilitate quality bicycle parking in Humboldt: "Countywide Bicycle Parking Guidelines: Recommended Policies & Requirements" and "Bike Parking Sourcebook: Sample Policies, Municipal Codes, & Programs."

A 20-year planning document, updated from 2004. Priority projects are targeted for the short-term (5 years).

HCAOG is guided by federal Title VI mandates and strives to not only meet these mandates, but to create an overall transparent, inclusive planning process. This document establishes a framework for HCAOG’s efforts to ensure compliance with Title VI and related statutes regarding nondiscrimination. A commitment to Title VI has, and continues to be, reflected in HCAOG’s Overall Work Program, communications, public involvement efforts, and overall operations.

SB 272 - The California Public Records Act Inventory The Humboldt County Association of Governments (HCAOG) uses information technology systems to process, manage, and report on data and information to conduct agency business. In the spirit of transparency, openness, and compliance with State law, HCAOG discloses a list of its enterprise information technology systems (Enterprise Systems Catalog). HCAOG will update this catalog annually. California Senate Bill 272, an extension of the California Public Records Act, provides regulatory requirements on this disclosure.

The Public Participation Plan describes how the public can receive information from HCAOG, and how the public can provide input into regional planning, such as giving input when HCAOG develops and implements transportation plans, programs, or projects.

This document is an update to the 2016 amended Coordinated Public Transit – Human Services Transportation Plan for Humboldt County. Coordinated transportation is essential to keep people linked to social networks, employment, healthcare, education, social services, and recreation. Having access to reliable transportation can present a challenge to vulnerable populations, such as seniors, people with disabilities, and low-income individuals. For these groups, a coordinated transportation plan is necessary to improve access, efficiency, and promote independence.

In 2019, HCAOG completed a transit study for the Blue Lake Rancheria, which analyzed potential new service to the communities of Fieldbrook, Western Glendale Drive, and Korbel. HCAOG analyzed various transit scenarios feasibility in the study area, based upon surveys, identified needs, budget constraints, modeled farebox performance, existing conditions, partnering opportunities, socio-economic and demographic data, committee and council input, and a public workshop.

The Federal Transit Administration Section 5311 program helps promote and enhance public transportation in rural areas. Eligible applicants include local public bodies and agencies thereof, Native American tribes, private non-profit organizations, and operators of public transportation services. Eligible projects must serve the general public in rural areas. Eligible applicants for the 5311(f) program include all those eligible for the 5311 formula program in addition to private non-profit organizations that meet the requirements of the program. This program funds operating assistance for new, expansion or continuation of service. A planning study for new service is also an eligible use.

Rules for administering funds pursuant to the Transit Development Act (TDA). Rules apply to HCAOG committees and staff, TDA claimants, transit operators, the County Auditor, and consulting auditors.

Intercity bus service is critical to meeting the State’s goals to reduce vehicle miles traveled (VMT) and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and provide mobility to all Californians. The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) Division of Rail and Mass Transportation (DRMT) is advancing a vision to provide meaningful public transportation access to all parts of the state through the California State Rail Plan and California Intercity Bus Study (CIBS). Intercity bus service is a key element of this vision, providing access to locations that have limited or no rail service available. California’s North Coast US 101 corridor, defined for this report as the 300-mile corridor from Santa Rosa to Crescent City, is one of the largest and most populated corridors in the state that will not be directly served by intercity passenger rail service in the foreseeable future. Rail service currently terminates at Sonoma County Airport, just north of Santa Rosa, and will reach approximately 30 miles further north to Cloverdale in the Long Term Vision of the 2022 State Rail Plan. Thus, providing coordinated, convenient, and efficient bus service along the corridor will be important to keeping this region connected to the rest of the state.

This report was prepared by the Schatz Energy Research Center for the Humboldt Transit Authority. The report reviews best practices for electrification, provides an analysis of climate change impacts with relation to transit services in Humboldt County, and concludes with recommendations for transit fleet electrification based on results from a novel cost optimization tool.

This report provides an assessment of design alternatives to improve connectivity from Rohnerville Airport to U.S. Highway 101 and State Highway 36. Rohnerville Airport is designated as a General Aviation Airport, and it is owned and operated by the County of Humboldt. The goals of developing an alternative route to the airport are to establish a more direct route from Rohnerville Airport to U.S. Highway 101, and State Highway 36; minimize airport traffic on local roads; expand airfreight services and general aviation abilities; expand CAL FIRE emergency response abilities; and develop complementary commercial and industrial uses near the airport.
