2050 Long Range Transportation Plan Under Development

Welcome to the 2050 Long Range Transportation Plan page under development. This page will evolve over the next several months to reflect work on the year 2050 transportation vision for Central Florida. Check back often, as the plan takes shape and heads toward approval by the Lake~Sumter MPO Board in late 2025.

What is a Long Range Transportation Plan

The Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP or 2050 Plan) establishes the vision of Central Florida’s entire transportation system for Lake and Sumter Counties. This plan for the year 2050 will identify current and future transportation needs. Projects must be included in the plan to receive federal and state funding. The plan is updated every five years to reflect the changing dynamics of the region.

The 2050 Plan will examine the current transportation system, establish goals and objectives, and gather public input. A thorough technical analysis, including performance measures, will be used to evaluate needs and look at various future trends that might affect the system. Through coordination with local government and transportation agency partners, the 2050 Plan will produce a cost-feasible plan, a list of projects that the region can afford to build.

Study Partners and Timing

Lake~Sumter MPO is leading the 2050 Long Range Transportation Plan’s development in coordination with our local government and transportation operating partners throughout Lake and Sumter Counties. Additional coordination with other interested parties, including other transportation partners, community members, agencies, businesses, and government entities will continue throughout the plan’s two-year (24-month) schedule.

Project Milestones

  • Background Data & Existing Conditions (Winter 2024 – Summer 2025) – Assessment of how we use the existing transportation system, identification of the trends that influenced our transportation decisions, and evaluation of which future trends could influence the continued growth of our transportation network.
  • Goals & Objectives (Winter 2024 – Summer 2025) – Establish goals and objectives for the future growth of the transportation system.
  • Technical Analysis, Needs Assessment, and Investment Scenario Planning (Summer 2024 – Spring 2025) – Evaluate multimodal transportation system needs throughout Orange, Osceola, and Seminole counties. Compare alternative investment scenarios that address the identified needs, align with the 2050 Plan goals and objectives, and enhance the transportation system.
  • Cost Feasible Plan Development (Winter 2024 – Fall 2025) – Develop a cost-feasible prioritized list of projects to address the region's transportation needs.
  • Plan Adoption & Implementation (Winter 2025) – Adopt the final 2050 Plan and implement the cost-feasible plan over the coming decades.

Technical Reports

The planning process is very detailed and includes a series of technical reports that outline the processes, methodologies, and findings from the regional long-range transportation plan. As we progress through the development of the 2050 Plan, the technical reports will be published here.
