What is an MPOs Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP)?

The Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991 (ISTEA) required Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs) to have a multimodal network of transportation. The Transportation Equity Act of the 21st Century (TEA-21) builds on initiates established in ISTEA. As a result of these two acts, MPOs are now required to develop a long range transportation plan (LRTP). It incorporates all modes of transportation, including transit, bicycle, pedestrian, rail, aviation, ports and ferries. The plan may be viewed as a layer of fiscally constrained plans with each layer equating to a separate, but integrated, mode of transportation. Therefore, only projects that can reasonably be expected to be funded within the planning period are included in the LRTP.
