Long Range Transportation Planning

As the staff for the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) for the Fond du Lac urbanized area, Commission staff works with local governments and the public to comply with federal and state planning requirements for urbanized areas.

The Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP), sometimes referred to as a Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP), serves as a planning document to guide transportation development for at least a 20-year period. The MTP is a federally-required planning document, and MPOs are responsible for both the development and maintenance of the plans. The main purpose of an MTP as a long-range planning document is to outline how a planning area will address its transportation needs, including all modes of transportation, and ensure that transportation investments work to enhance the region’s economic development, transportation, and sustainability goals. The transportation plan outlines how the metropolitan area will manage and operate a multi-modal transportation system (including transit, highway, bicycle, and accessible transportation) to meet the region’s goals, while remaining fiscally constrained. MTPs demonstrate fiscal constraint by including sufficient financial information to confirm that projects within the document can be implemented using committed or available revenue sources, with reasonable assurance that the federally supported transportation system is being adequately operated and maintained.
