The Draft Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) and the Draft Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP) are available for public review.
The RTP is a long-range plan having a 20-year planning horizon and is updated every four years. The RTP serves as the County’s overarching transportation planning document and is required to ensure the region remains eligible to receive federal transportation funding. The RTP employs a systematic approach to evaluate the performance of the transportation system, to identify ‘needs’ or deficiencies in the system, and to develop solutions that best address any existing gaps.
