The Regional Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) directs federal and state dollars toward transportation investments we value in our community. It identifies transportation improvements that are significant to the region as a whole. This plan is one of the key work products of the SCTPA.
The plan considers at least the next 20 years and is updated every five years. It is based on forecasts of future growth, on analysis of existing and future needs for many types of improvements, and on the opinions and feedback of people in the community. This regional plan coincides and coordinates with Long Range Plan updates in each of the MPOs/TPOs.
In recent LRTP updates, the MPOs and TPOs in West Central Florida have focused on:
- Increasing the transportation choices available in the region;
- Expanding use of technology & innovative solutions;
- Balancing development with environmental preservation; and
- Using performance measures to prioritize investments.
