Public Transit Planning
Gulf Regional Planning Commission provides support to the mission of Coast Transit Authority. GRPC assists CTA with transit planning, public involvement and satisfying various federal regulations.
Short and Long Range Planning
As a companion document to the long-range transportation plan for the region, the Transit Development Plan (TDP) identifies projects for future inclusion in the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) developed periodically by GRPC.
Public Involvement
GRPC and CTA staff jointly coordinate public outreach and engagement activities. We take advantage of the opportunity to share resources and to meet with the public and other stakeholders whenever possible.
Federal Requirements
GRPC helps CTA satisfy various federal requirements such as National Transit Database reporting, Title VI compliance, and the development of required documents.
System Analysis
GRPC staff analyzes the current fixed-route transit system to determine if improvements or adjustments should be recommended to enhance the system such as system expansion, route adjustments, headway reductions and new services.
Infrastructure Enhancements
GRPC facilitates the planning and implementation of transit shelter construction along the fixed-route system to include: new shelter site selection, evaluation and planning including negotiations with property owners. 
Mapping
As a regular part of the GRPC and CTA relationship, our planning staff provides a variety of mapping services in support of route planning, marketing, outreach and other CTA activities.
