Long Range Transportation Plan
- Long-term vision for the transportation system
- Multimodal transportation improvements
- 25 Year Horizon (2040)
- Updated every 5 years
- Fiscally constrained
- Addresses regional planning requirement
- Federal requirement
- Adopted by MPO’s Governing Board
LRTP Development Process
Establish Policy, Goals and Objectives Develop Land Use Vision and Forecast Socio-Economic Data Identify Transportation Needs Assess Transportation Alternatives Perform Financial Analysis Develop Cost Feasible Plan MPO Adopt the Plan
Needs Plan
- Maintain satisfactory level of service
- Acceptable mobility conditions
- Assumes existing + committed (E+C) improvements
- Fiscally unconstrained
- Guides Cost Feasible Plan (fiscally constrained)
The Need for a Needs Plan
– Increase of population by over 64,000 – 2040 population forecast is 6,700 less than the 2035 LRTP. – 2040 projections show that population growth outpaces employment growth.

2040 E+C Roadway Network
- Existing roadway network and improvements
programmed for construction in the next five years.
- “Committed” Roadway Improvements:
– I-95: 4L to 6L within Indian River County. – US 1: 4L to 6L between St. Lucie County Line and Oslo Road. – 66 Avenue: 2L to 4L between SR 60 and 49 Street. – 37 Street: 2L to 4L between US 1 and Indian River Boulevard.
2040 E+C Roadway Network
- Potentially Deficient Corridors:
– US 1 – SR A1A – CR 512 – CR 510 – 66th Avenue – 58th Avenue – 43rd Avenue – 27th Avenue – Roseland Road – Barber Street – Schuman Drive – Wabasso Causeway – Indian River Blvd – Aviation Blvd – SR 60 at I-95 – 8 Street at US 1
2040 Roadway Deficiencies
“Initial” Needs Plan
- Preliminary projects to address deficiencies
- Developed using two strategies:
– Increase capacity of deficient corridors – Increase capacity of parallel corridors and/or improve connectivity of grid road network
- Consistency with the 2035 Cost Feasible Plan
- Some deficiencies remain (Constraints)
- Current Snapshot - Initial Needs Plan will be refined
2040 Initial Needs Plan
- Improve deficient
corridors: 10 projects
- Improve grid
connectivity/parallel corridors: 5 projects

Next Steps – Needs Plan
- Refine Needs Plan – April
- Alternatives Analysis – April and May
- Intersection improvements
- Technology based solutions such as Transportation System
Management and Operation (TSM&O)
- Transit
- Bicycle and pedestrian facilities
- Public Workshops – Mid May
Next Steps – Cost Feasible Plan
- Cost Feasible Plan Development – May thru September
– Fiscal Constraints (Fewer Projects than Needs Plan)
- 2035 Long Range Plan Funding
– Highway Needs Plan - $975 million – Final Highway Cost Feasible Plan - $545 million
- $141 million in SIS funds
- $96 million in other State funds
- $85 million local option sales tax of $308 million total county funds
- Final Needs Plan and “Initial” Cost Feasible Plan
