California Inter-Regional Partnership (IRP)

This report describes and evaluates the California Inter-Regional Partnership (IRP) Program as of 2004. The purpose of the IRP Program was to “encourage state land-use patterns that balance the location of employment-generating uses so that employment-related commuting is minimized,” and to provide a forum for some of the State’s most impacted regions to deal collaboratively on issues regarding jobs, housing, and transportation.
