Comprehensive Transportation Plan

Comprehensive Transportation Plan

The Comprehensive Transportation Plan Long range, needs-based plan; representing consensus by the community and the State on the future transportation system (including the existing system and improvements） needed to support anticipated growth and development over approximately a 25–30-year timeframe.

Comprehensive Transportation Plans are required by North Carolina Legislature (NC General Statute 136-66.2) and are jointly adopted by the North Carolina Department of Transportation and the Triangle West Transportation Planning Organization. Additionally, the Comprehensive Transportation Plan

  • is multimodal and includes highways, public transit, rail, bicycle, and pedestrian infrastructure
  • identifies all known transportation needs and is not fiscally constrained
  • does not include final design but informs final designs in short term planning efforts like the STIP

This project is designed as a central outreach and engagement hub for the Comprehensive Transportation Plan and amendments.
