Project Introduction
The Southeast Wiregrass Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) is currently developing its 2050 Long Range Transportation Plan. This plan will identify a vision for the region’s transportation system over the next 25 years. This multimodal plan will include projects and strategies for roads, bicycle/pedestrian paths, railroads, airports, and transit systems.
Project Components
The plan will include projects, strategies, and services to address the following economic planning factors:
- Support the economic vitality of the metropolitan area, especially by enabling global competitiveness, productivity, and efficiency.
- Increase the safety of the transportation system for motorized and non-motorized users.
- Increase the security of the transportation system for motorized and non-motorized users.
- Increase accessibility and mobility of people and freight.
- Protect and enhance the environment, promote energy conservation, improve the quality of life, and promote consistency between transportation improvements and State and local planned growth and economic development patterns.
- Enhance the integration and connectivity of the transportation system, across and between modes, for people and freight.
- Promote efficient system management and operation.
- Emphasize the preservation of the existing transportation system.
- Improve the resiliency and reliability of the transportation system and reduce or mitigate stormwater impacts of surface transportation.
- Enhance travel and tourism.
