The countywide transportation plan outlines priorities for the Napa Valley Transportation Authority and Napa County’s transportation system to relieve congestion, improve traffic safety, create more active transportation infrastructure, provide more reliable and frequent bus service, and maintain and repair the existing transportation system.

The Plan provides a direction for the next five years while considering land use, environment, population, and financial projections up to 2050. A countywide transportation plan is updated every 4–5 years to reflect changing conditions, technologies, policies, and funding opportunities, ensuring the plan stays relevant and actionable. Regular updates also help to regularly incorporate public input, keeping long-term goals aligned with current needs. Measure U, passed in 2024, continues the legacy of Measure T to provide funding to improve traffic conditions on Napa's highways. However, it can't be the only source of revenue.

This Plan is part of a regional planning process and some elements will eventually be part of Plan Bay Area, the regional transportation plan published by the Metropolitan Transportation Commission. Programs and projects submitted for inclusion in Plan Bay Area must reflect financial constraints, but this plan also includes projects that are not yet funded, to allow projects of merit to advance should additional funding come available.

NVTA strives to overcome the obstacles of today and plans to address the challenges of tomorrow with the Plan’s programs, policies, and projects.

A series of maps was developed to show the existing countywide multimodal infrastructure and services, including transit facilities, crash history, priority development areas, evacuation routes, and Equity Priority Communities. This section also includes key plans and guidance documents that lays the framework for this plan.

A list of figures you'll find linked here include:

• Evacuation Routes
• Transit Routes
• Crash History
• Equity Priority Communities & Priority Development Areas
• Major Projects in Progress
• Major Projects Completed Since Advancing Mobility 2045

A list of existing plans include:

• Countywide Transportation Plan: Advancing Mobility 2045 (NVTA, 2021)
• Napa Valley Vision Zero Plan (NVTA, 2023)
• Short Range Transit Plan (NVTA, 2022)
