The Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) identifies transportation projects that are anticipated to be needed over the next 25 years and how they may affect the transportation system by analyzing factors including county policy, demand from future population and employment growth, changes in transportation technology and community input about what transportation improvements are desired moving forward.

The LRTP identifies which needs can be funded with available transportation revenues from federal, state, and local sources, and will consider all modes of travel. With input from the public and the TPO member communities, the transportation needs are ranked and prioritized using technical criteria developed to be consistent with the National Planning Factors.
