Regional Transportation Plans (RTP)

Regional Transportation Plans (RTPs) are comprehensive long-term strategies developed by local transportation agencies to guide the development of a region’s transportation system. They identify future transportation needs, prioritize projects like roads, public transit, biking, and walking infrastructure, and allocate funding to improve mobility, safety, and environmental sustainability. RTPs consider population growth, technology, and regional goals to ensure efficient, accessible, and environmentally responsible transportation options for residents over the next 20-25 years. They serve as a blueprint for coordinating transportation investments across local jurisdictions to support regional economic vitality and quality of life.
