2050 Long Range Transportation Plan

Guiding long-term decision making for the Grand Island area transportation system.

A Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) is a strategic document that formalizes the vision for the regional transportation system for the next 25 years.

Key Elements of the LRTP

  • Establish a series of transportation goals that reflect community values and align with state and federal objectives.
  • Identify transportation projects to be implemented over this timeframe
  • Demonstrate that enough Federal, state, and local funding will be available to implement these projects

The plan will be developed through public input and a technical analysis of how all modes of transportation perform including:

  • Highways
  • Streets
  • Transit
  • Freight
  • Bicycle
  • Walking / Rolling

Schedule

The 2050 LRTP will be developed over the next year and a half. During that time, the public will be invited to provide their comments, questions, and concerns at multiple key milestones.
