Title
2045 Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP) -- Amendment #1 (10 minutes)
Andy Henry, LPA Staff
Narrative
In November, the MPO Board authorized the MPO staff to release Amendment #1 (also known as the re-adoption) to the 2045 Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP). Staff released Amendment #1 on November 28th along with the Air Quality Conformity Determination Report (AQ CDR). These documents and the public input opportunities have been posted to the MPO Web site and advertised in local newspapers. The following Web page provides a copy of the completely amended 2045 MTP report and has a list of the sections of the 2045 MTP that have been amended as a guide to anyone who reviews the document: http://www.dchcmpo.org/programs/transport/2045mtp.asp#tabs10
Staff has not made any significant changes to the Amendment #1 version that was released. The public comments on Amendment #1 will be posted to the MPO Web site, however no public comments have been received so far.
The following attachments are useful for understanding the amendment:
* A table of the proposed changes to the highway projects
* A resolution is attached to adopt Amendment #1 to the 2045 MTP and TRM version 6 (which includes the socioeconomic data) -- Staff added the interim Socioeconomic Data years (i.e., 2017, 2025, 2035, 2040 and 2045) to this most recent version of the resolution.
In terms of schedule, keep in mind that the AQ CDR needs to be adopted by February 16, 2019 to continue federal transportation actions in our area.
