Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP)

What is an MTP?

Formerly known as the Long-Range Transportation Plan (LRTP), the Metropolitan Transportation Plan establishes a cooperative, continuous, and comprehensive framework for making transportation investment decisions in
metropolitan areas. The result of this process requires a planning document to be developed with at least a 20-year planning horizon from the date of adoption by the MPO Policy Board. A Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP) is a requirement under federal transportation law (Title 23 U.S. Code) and must be a comprehensive, performance based, multi-modal, and coordinated regional plan. 

2050 inMotion

"We aspire to create a safe & complete transportation system that puts people first."

2050 inMotion represents the current MTP as developed through an extensive process to combine public input with technical analysis. The plan acts as a guide for the future of transportation facilities and how they function as an integrated system to support the people, places, and activities of the Anderson Metropolitan Planning Area.

Actions are split to accomplish 4 primary goals:

[1] CONNECT

[2] EDUCATE

[3] MOVE

[4] PROTECT

Amendments

Although the MTP attempts to include all relevant assumptions and projects, new information can arise and new projects can utilize Federal Transportation funding. In these cases, the MTP must be amended and updated for fiscal-constraint. Links provided below include only the pages that modify the current MTP.
There have been no amendments to date.
