LRTP Overview

What is an LRTP?

A Long Range Transportation Plan is a comprehensive roadmap for enhancing transportation in a metropolitan area over the next 25 years. The plan is updated every 5 years to reflect new trends, priorities, and funding assumptions.

Having an LRTP is required for metropolitan planning areas to be eligible to receive federal funding for transportation projects.

What Area is Covered by the LRTP?

The LRTP covers the Auburn-Opelika Metropolitan Planning Organization (AOMPO) area. This area includes the Auburn and Opelika metropolitan areas and parts of Lee County.
