Last updated in May 2020, the Long-Range Transportation Plan outlines a 20-year vision for the region’s transportation system. It focuses on preserving existing infrastructure while identifying innovative strategies to enhance mobility and expand travel options throughout the area.
CIRTPA is accepting public comments on the draft plan through Sunday, December 7.
