The MPO Board approved an amendment to the 2045 LRTP on December 8, 2023 revising Table 6-2 on page 6-4. This addressed changes to projects based on additional funding from the Moving Florida Forward Infrastructure Initiative and recent Federal and State appropriations and project phases added or changed in the FDOT Tentative Work Program of FY (fiscal year) 2025-2029.
The MPO is required to complete a LRTP in order to receive federal funds. To be in compliance with federal requirements, the LRTP is updated every five years and must maintain a minimum time horizon of 20 years. The LRTP must be multimodal, including highway and transit modes and by reference to the Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan, non-motorized modes. The 2045 LRTP serves as an instrument to identify needed improvements to the transportation network and provides a long-term investment framework that addresses current and future transportation challenges. Projects must be identified in the 2045 LRTP – Cost Feasible Plan in order to be incorporated in the Transportation Improvement Program.
