Long-Range Regional Transportation Plan (RTP)

The seven-county SEMCOG region maintains a 25-year long-range vision for transportation. It serves as a guide for developing a transportation system that is accessible, safe, and reliable and contributes to a higher quality of life for the region's citizens. The plan’s policies, initiatives, and projects are implemented by SEMCOG and its partners. Projects to be implemented in the near term are included in the region's short-range Transportation Improvement Program (TIP).
