The 2050 Metropolitan Transportation Plan

The Metropolitant Transportation Plan (MTP) is the master guide for transportation projects in Macon-Bibb County and parts of Jones & Monroe Counties which receive federal support. The plan presents the transportation improvements that are needed today and in the future to help move people and goods safely and conveniently about the Middle Georgia Area. The MTP is designed to forecast demand for transportation services at least 20 years into the future, taking into account anticipated population growth, housing needs and employment goals for the region.  Because the current planning horizon year (set in consultation with GDOT) is 2050, this plan covers the next 30 years.

To keep the document and project lists current, the MTP updated every 4 to 5 years. The MTP serves as the official list of federally funded transportation projects and priorities, throughout the MPO region. The number and priority of projects on that list can be altered, based on the procedures laid out in the MATS Public Participation Plan.

At the State level, all MTP project lists throughout Georgia feed into the Long Range Statewide Transportation Program (LRSTP). As the name suggests, the LRSTP is a statewide plan that addresses projected travel demand for at least 20 years, taking into account State policies and strategies for promoting efficient development, protection of natural resources, and employment.
