- What is a Long Range Tranportation Plan?
- A Long Range Transportation Plan is a long-range (typically 20+year) strategy and capital improvement program developed to guide the effective investment of public funds in multi modal transportation facilities. The plan is typically reevaluated and/or updated every 5 years, and may be amended as a result of changes in projected Federal, State and local funding, major improvement studies, congestion management process plans, interchange justification studies, and environmental impact studies.
