TWIC recommended the RPTP be forwarded to the Board of Supervisors on consent for acceptance. The Draft RPTP was scheduled for the January 28, 2025 Board of Supervisors meeting but was later pulled from the agenda due to the WCCTC Board's decision from their January 24, 2025 meeting to continue the item.

January 24, 2025, WCCTC staff provided an overview of the Final Draft RPTP to the WCCTC Board. Commissioners sought clarifying information and requested modifications to the RPTP to address public health, funding, maintenance responsibilities, and the state-mandated transition to electric vehicles.
February 28, 2025, the WCCTC Board received an update on revisions to the Draft RPTP that addressed comments from the January WCCTC Board meeting.
