Alameda County opens comment on its 2026 draft transportation plan

The Alameda County Transportation Commission released the 2026 draft Countywide Transportation Plan for public review on Wednesday, July 22. It is the document that frames what the county says its transportation priorities are, and it is open for comment now.

The draft covers the county network as one system: people who walk, people who bike or roll, people who drive, and people who ride transit. The commission describes it as the product of more than two years of work with community groups and partner agencies, and says it will guide transportation priorities and investments for years to come.

For a reader in Oakland, Hayward, Fremont or San Leandro, that is the practical stake. A countywide plan is where a corridor, a crossing or a bus priority project either appears as a stated priority or does not. Comment is the point at which a resident can say which ones matter.

There are three ways to weigh in. The commission's project page carries a comment tool that takes input directly on the draft. Questions and comments can also go to ctp@alamedactc.org, or by phone to 510-208-7446.

The commission did not announce a closing date for the comment period when it released the draft. Anyone who wants their comment counted should not wait on one.

What happens next is adoption: a countywide plan goes to the commission for approval after the comment period and the resulting revisions. The commission has not published an adoption date.
