Background
OCTA updates the LRTP about every four years. The multi-modal projects and programs included are the basis for the Southern California Association of Governments' Regional Transportation Plan (RTP). The LRTP provides a visionary blueprint for transportation improvements for Orange County and input into the development of the RTP.
The general goals of the LRTP are to assess the performance of the transportation system over a 20+ year horizon, and to identify the projects that best address the needs of the system based on expected population, housing and employment growth, while taking forecast financial assumptions into account at the same time. The LRTP will provide both a financially constrained plan, which takes into account funding limitations, and an unconstrained plan, which contains a vast array of potential improvements should additional funding sources become available.
The 2018 LRTP was completed in November 2018 and will be submitted to SCAG as input for the 2020 Regional Transportation Plan and Sustainable Communities Strategy. View the 2018 LRTP below.
