Kern County growth drives 1988 regional plan projections
Circulation in Kern County rises from 302 089 in 1980 to over 511 000 now and is projected to exceed 766 000 by 2010. Kern COG chairman Johnny Thomas notes a doubling of population in the next decade as the region schools roads and jobs plan for higher travel demand and more drivers. The 1988 Regional Transportation Plan identifies long range goals to manage this growth and its impact on highways and streets with a predicted 69 percent driver increase and at least a 50 percent rise in registered vehicles.
