As required by SAFETEA, A/GFTC is in the process of updating its Long Range Transportation Plan (LRP). The LRP will be a description of the vision of area residents and community leaders for the desired direction of the transportation system and serves as the foundation document that guides future investments, including capital projects and planning efforts from the present time out until the year 2030.

A/GFTC’s committee members and staff recognize the important link between transportation and quality of life. The Council is committed to developing plans and strategies that will provide for a safe and efficient transportation system that in turn will promote economic development and desired land uses while minimizing adverse impacts upon the environment. Public input and participation are crucial in ensuring that available planning and capital resources are applied towards the best and most cost-effective uses.

 

A public survey has been designed to assist the Council in identifying transportation issues that are of significant local priority. The survey was mailed to 1,000 randomly selected residents of the planning area. A/GFTC made the survey available to anyone who wished to participate in the transportation planning process. All survey responses were given full consideration as part of the ongoing effort to update the Long Range Transportation Plan.

 

During the upcoming months, A/GFTC staff will be reviewing public comments received, processing technical data (including traffic counts, physical inventories of facility conditions, and funding and growth projections) and assessing existing transportation issues and concerns in order to formulate a strategy for future transportation investments. We encourage anyone with specific comments or suggestions to share your thoughts with us. Please check back here for periodic updates.
