LRTP 2007 Final Report

The Syracuse Metropolitan Transportation Area contains a complex, multi-modal transportation system, which must be maintained in a good state of repair to preserve the infrastructure, improve safety, provide system connectivity, improve mobility, increase access and support economic growth. As the federally designated Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO), the Syracuse Metropolitan Transportation Council (SMTC) is responsible for the preparation of long-range transportation plans and, in accordance with the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act, a Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU) of 2005, must update their long-range transportation plans every three years. The SMTC has prepared the Long-Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) 2007 Update to examine and consider changes in trends and conditions, and to confirm the validity of the forecasts and assumptions used in the 1995, 1998, 2001 and 2004 LRTP Updates.
