Chippewa-Eau Claire MPO
Long Range Transportation Plan Update
​​Purpose
MPOs are required to update their Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) every five years. The LRTP is a multi-modal transportation plan for the urbanized area with a planning horizon of at least 20 years into the future. The plan documents existing conditions of the highway, bicycle, pedestrian, transit, rail, air, and freight modes in the area; establishes goals and objectives; examines system deficiencies; and recommends improvements for each mode over the next 20+ years.
​
​​Timeline
The LRTP needs to be adopted by February 2026.​
