Long Range Transportation Planning

2045 Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP)

The Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) is a fundamental document for our region. Not only does it outline our region’s long-range transportation vision, but it also lists all future projects that our region anticipates to undertake in the next 20 to 30 years.

MAP-21, the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act, requires that each MPO develop an intermodal transportation plan with at least a 20-year horizon. The plan must be updated at least every four years to keep consistent with existing conditions, re-evaluate proposed plans, programs, and projects, and validate air quality conformity analysis due to the Fredericksburg Urbanized Area’s designation as a maintenance area for air quality.  After the long-range plan is adopted and funding is identified, the projects included in the plan will be eligible to advance to the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP).
