PURPOSE OF THE LRTP Blueprint to maintain and enhance our regional transportation system Consider current needs and forecasted future growth List of multi-modal transportation projects to be funded through 2040 (cost feasible) Maintain currency by updating every five years to consider changes in growth and travel patterns * Current 2035 LRTP was adopted in March 2012

ELEMENTS OF THE LRTP 2040 LRTP Cost Feasible Plan Goals & Objectives Data Forecasts Needs Assessment Financial Resources

Goals and Objectives Goals and Objectives serve as the guiding principles of the plan. They will help determine the projects that are ultimately included in the plan. Will be the basis for developing the project evaluation criteria

2040 Needs Assessment Begins with the forecasting of 2040 conditions using the current transportation network Followed by development of alternatives Road projects Transit projects Bike/Pedestrian projects Operational projects

2040 Needs Assessment Ultimately the Okaloosa-Walton Transportation Planning Organization will adopt a multi-modal Needs Plan for 2040 This will likely be a mix of transit, bicycle, pedestrian and roadway projects

Cost Feasible Plan How do we set priorities within funding constraints? We will strive for a balanced plan that functions well as a mobility system. For the 2040 Cost Feasible Plan we have $150M in Other Arterial funds and $175M in SIS funds to work with.
