2045 Long Range Transportation Plan
What is an LRTP?
Metropolitan Planning Organizations are tasked with developing a 20+ year plan for their regions, called the Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP). These plans are required for MPOs and must be updated every five years. The LRTP is a comprehensive assessment of the region’s future transportation needs within the urbanized area. The LRTP includes multi-modal recommendations for improving the safe and efficient movement of people, goods and services throughout the region.
The LRTP also identifies potentially available federal, state and local funding levels and presents recommendations for the future programming and implementation phasing of major projects.
The goal of the LRTP is to create an effective framework for mobility and development together with a set of priority transportation investments that will address the area’s current and long-term needs. The projects that are selected as priorities for the transportation network will be programmed into the Statewide TIP for funding. The plan must comply with Federal guidelines as outlined in MAP-21 and is updated every five years.
