Introduction/Overview
A
Long Range Transportation Plan serves as the official, adopted plan for a metropolitan
area and directs transportation decision making for a twenty-year period. Federal
regulations require that long range transportation plans be updated every 4 years, for a metropolitan area to be eligible for federal transportation funds.
The Centre County Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) is
being prepared through a partnership of the Centre County Metropolitan Planning
Organization (CCMPO), Centre County Government, Centre Area Transportation Authority
(CATA), and PENNDOT. These organizations are working together to ensure that the
plan will comply with current legislation:
 | Safe Accountable Flexible Efficient
Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU) |
|
Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA-21) of
1998 |
|
Clean Air Act Amendments (CAAA) of 1990 |
|
Pennsylvania Municipalities Code, Act 247 of 1968 as amended |
|
Pennsylvania Executive Order No. 1993-3 for State Land Use
Planning. |
The Centre County LRTP will have a multimodal focus including
roadways, public transportation, bicycle/pedestrian, freight, rail and air facilities.
The LRTP will establish a list of priority projects for future action.
