A core function of the HRTPO, the metropolitan planning organization (MPO) for the Hampton Roads area, is to develop and maintain a Long-Range Transportation Plan (LRTP).  The LRTP is a blueprint for planned transportation improvements over a 20-year planning horizon based on the vision and goals of the region.  Since 2016, HRTPO staff has been coordinating with regional stakeholders to update the LRTP to the horizon year of 2045.

HRTPO staff has developed the Hampton Roads 2045 Long Range Transportation Plan:  Candidate Project Evaluation and Prioritization report, the fifth in the series of reports documenting the development of the 2045 LRTP.  This draft report summarizes the evaluation and prioritization of candidate projects being considered for inclusion in the LRTP, utilizing the regional scenario planning framework and updated HRTPO Project Prioritization Tool.  Results from this analysis will serve as a guiding tool in developing regional transportation priorities.
