The Long Range Transportation Plan
 

 

The Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) contains all of the roads planned through 2025, so it’s also known as the 2025 Plan. It is developed by the Transportation Advisory Committee and is revised every three to five years and is reviewed by the federal government to ensure that planned roads will provide at least a minimum level of air quality.
