Goleta Train Station Master Plan

AEP Merit Award for Outstanding Planning Document

The Goleta Train Depot Master Plan represents the initial phase of the Goleta Train Depot expansion project, establishing appropriate recommendations and guidelines that will shape the ultimate design and functionality of the rail depot. The master planning process focused on the identification of mobility and station improvements while promoting the conservation of environmental resources. A greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction analysis prepared by SBCAG found that the project could reduce GHG emissions in the region by 525,119 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent. This comprehensive look at the overall functionality of the depot through the development of the Goleta Train Depot Master Plan illustrates Goleta’s commitment to a transportation network that serves the needs of regional residents, businesses, and visitors while maintaining the City’s high standards of development and environmental protection.
