What is the LRTP?
The Long-Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) is a foundational document used by TDOT to prioritize transportation investments across the State. It outlines the goals, strategies, and projects for enhancing Tennessee's transportation system over the next 25 years. This plan helps TDOT make key funding and policy decisions that foster a multimodal transportation system, addressing the diverse needs of all residents and visitors.

- Identifying and Prioritizing Needs: The LRTP identifies future transportation needs, helping prioritize projects that provide the greatest benefit.
- Supporting Economic Growth: A robust transportation system supports economic development and improves quality of life by providing efficient access to jobs, education, medical care, and recreational activities.
- Ensuring Safety and Efficiency: The plan aims to improve safety and operational efficiency, reducing traffic congestion and making travel more predictable.
- Promoting Sustainability: The LRTP focuses on creating a sustainable transportation system that minimizes environmental impact and accommodates various modes of travel, including public transportation, biking, and walking.
