What is a regional long-range transportation plan?
A long-range transportation plan is a document resulting from a regional process of collaboration and consensus on a region’s transportation system. This document serves as the defining vision for the region’s transportation systems and services. The plan indicates all of the regional transportation improvements needed over the next 20 or more years. Putting a transportation plan together requires careful consideration of many factors, including population growth, economic trends, financial resources, community goals, preservation of both human and natural environments, and maintaining good quality of life.
