Long Range Transportation Plan

The Long Range Transportation Plan is the 20 year vision for the region. The current plan guides transportation development through the year 2025.

Projects in the LRTP must be cost-feasible, meaning the region must have available funding sources to pay for the improvements. With a list of needed improvements that is far greater than available funds, the development of the LRTP requires local elected officials and transportation experts to make difficult decisions that will have a tremendous impact on the future of Central Florida. Because of the importance and magnitude of the plan, its development incorporates extensive technical analysis, cost feasibility studies, stakeholder input, policy debate and public involvement.

Whereas the LRTP provides the general framework, the Prioritized Project List actually lists projects in ranked order. This ten year list is updated annually and determines the sequence in which projects will receive funding. Priorities are based on established criteria, including traffic volumes, available funding and regional equity. The established priority order allows local governments to plan for the funding and implementation of projects in their respective jurisdictions.
