What is a comprehensive transportation plan (CTP)?
The Transportation Planning Branch of NCDOT works with local areas to develop a transportation system to meet the future needs of the area. It is a mutually adopted multimodal planning set of vision maps that serves present and anticipated future travel demand in a safe and effective manner. Due to recent revisions in state law (136-66.2), thoroughfare plans (see above question) are being replaced with comprehensive transportation plans (CTP). CTPs show highway, transit/rail, and bicycle modes. It also is more specific on the access control of the road in the future (is it a freeway, expressway, boulevard, etc.) State Law also specifies that an area must have a land development plan and a public hearing on the draft plan for consideration. A pedestrian map is in development.
