A Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) fulfills the requirements of the Federal Transportation planning process by describing the transportation needs of a community for at least 20 years. The LRTP is guided by the Lincoln Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO). The plan must consider the full complement of transportation modes – roads, bicycles, pedestrians, trails, transit, parking, railroads and airports. In Lincoln and Lancaster County, the LRTP not only fulfills the federal requirements, but also serves as the transportation chapter of the Comprehensive Plan. The LRTP describes an evolving local transportation system built upon the Comprehensive Plan vision. The plan presents the transportation improvements that will be needed today and in the future to help move people and goods about the community.
