Project Overview
The Long-Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) examines transportation needs over a 25-year planning horizon using a continuous, comprehensive, and cooperative (3-C) planning process. LRTPs ensure that Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs) evaluate transportation system needs and projects that align with regional goals, as well as a variety of federal and state requirements. LRTPs are updated at least every five years.
The SEDA-COG MPO is responsible for transportation planning in an eight-county Central Pennsylvania region that includes Clinton, Columbia, Juniata, Mifflin, Montour, Northumberland, Snyder and Union counties. The SEDA-COG MPO leads development of the region’s LRTP and works with PennDOT, local governments, transit operators, the public, and other stakeholders to identify multimodal transportation needs and strategies for the next 25 years. We are now in the process of updating the region’s LRTP to reflect a 2026-2050 horizon and welcome extensive public input for shaping the plan update.What should the future of our transportation system look like?
If you could change one thing about transportation within the region, tell us what you would choose. (max 140 characters).
