Transportation (CUUATS)

Current Projects

CUUATS

CUUATS is currently involved in the following projects:


Long Range Transportation Plan
Long Range Transportation Plan CUUATS staff began updating the LRTP for 2035 in January of 2009. The LRTP is a document that details how the local area transportation system should evolve over the next 25 years. This document must be updated every five years as a requirement mandated by the Federal Highway Administration in order for communities in the urbanized area to receive federal and state funding for transportation projects. The latest LRTP document was adopted in 2004 and this proposed LRTP 2035 document was approved in compliance with federal regulations in December 2009.
